The Trevor Project
Free support for LGBTQ+ young people, by phone, text, or chat, any time.
Good to know
Counselors are trained to understand what LGBTQ+ young people face. You don't have to explain yourself first.
Before you call
They can
- connect you to a crisis counselor 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, anywhere in the US: call 1-866-488-7386, text START to 678-678, or use the chat
- support LGBTQ+ young people: the page says the counselors understand the challenges LGBTQ+ young people face and will listen without judgement, and that you can share as much or as little as you like
- take calls from deaf and hard of hearing users on TTY 1-866-803-3699
- talk free of charge
They cannot
- keep everything private in every case: in very specific instances of abuse, or a clear concern of an in-progress or imminent suicide, counselors may need to contact a child welfare agency or emergency service
- waive text charges: message and data rates may apply
