Description

Have you heard about the 988 Lifeline LGBTQI+ landscape? Want to know more about LGBTQ+ young people’s risk for suicide and how you can help? Join us for an upcoming webinar! 

As LGBTQ+ policy continues to shift across the nation, LGBTQ+ youth are often unfairly placed at the center of political debates and laws, contributing to poor mental health.  

In fact, 41% of them seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year, and young people who are transgender, nonbinary and/or people of color reported higher rates than their peers. 

Amid this mental health crisis, there are bright spots tailored to the unique needs and resiliency of this community. Find out what they are and how you can help in your community! 

Join us for LGBTQ+ Young People and Suicide – Tackling the Crisis Together on Thursday, October 12 (1-2 p.m. ET), as The Trevor Project’s Keygan Miller walks through: 

  • Trends and risk factors for LGBTQ+ youth suicide. 

  • Current services supporting LGBTQ+ young people in crisis. 

  • How to support the mental wellbeing of the LGBTQ+ community. 

  • … and more! 

Discover how to connect LGBTQ+ youth in need to care – register for a new webinar from the National Council’s LGBTQ+ Interest Group and then join the online community!
