If you are thinking about harming yourself — get immediate crisis support. Connect to a crisis counselor 24/7, 365 days a year, from anywhere in the U.S via text, chat, or phone. The Trevor Project is 100% confidential and 100% free.
Our trained counselors understand the challenges LGBTQ+ young people face and are available for support 24/7.
They will listen without judgment. When you text, chat, or call, all of your conversations are confidential, and you can share as much or as little as you’d like.
In very specific instances of abuse or a clear concern of an in-progress or imminent suicide, Trevor counselors may need to contact a child welfare agency or emergency service.
Not ready to talk?
It’s not easy to say how you’re feeling. Try this calming exercise that will help you relax and focus.
Looking for another kind of support?
If you’re not ready to speak to a counselor, you can speak to other LGBTQ+ young people or explore answers and information across a variety of topics.
