Crisis Services

Suicide is the second leading cause of death among young people, and 42% of LGBTQ young people seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year. For more than 23 years, The Trevor Project has worked to save young lives through our 24/7, free, and confidential crisis services, TrevorLifeline, TrevorText, and TrevorChat.

Over the past three years, The Trevor Project has more than doubled the number of crisis contacts served (people contacting our crisis services) year-over-year.

The number of volunteers serving in Crisis Services for The Trevor Project also significantly increased, with over 1,600 volunteers involved.

In FY21, young people served by Trevor used almost 11,500 different ways to describe the nuances of their intersectional identities, including sexual orientation, gender identity, and race/ethnicity.
