Content Warning: Anti-LGBTQ Violence Today, June 12, marks the seventh year since the tragic shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida. 49 people lost their lives that night, 68 were injured, and countless first responders and healthcare professionals were there and attending to them. The impact of this tragedy was felt by many, but for the Latinx community, LGBTQ people, and the Florida and Orlando community, the loss and shock was incalculable. I was 18 at the time, all the way in Illinois, and hearing the news, I cried reading the names of people whose names were just like…

Pride Pride is a celebration of community, resilience, and LGBTQ+ history and culture. It is a time for action, joy, liberation, and change. At Trevor, we’re celebrating the power of us — the strength we have as a community and the difference we can make together for LGBTQ+ young people. This year’s Pride celebration is underway at the same time that a record number of anti-LGBTQ+ policies are being introduced and implemented across the country.

Take a moment to meditate on the word community. It’s a word we hear often, but think about what it means in your own life. Community can be a group of friends, a church group, a bowling team, or co-workers at your job. The people that show up for us when times are tough and remind us that we all deserve to feel and be included. Consider how your community has gotten you through tough times. What did knowing you had that unconditional support mean for you and your mental health? This Pride, we’re celebrating community. LGBTQ young people need…

The Trevor Project's research estimates that at least one LGBTQ+ young person between the ages of 13 and 24 attempts suicide every 45 seconds in the U.S. Currently, about 45% of the youth we serve across our crisis services are youth of color, and we know from our 2022 National Survey on LGBTQ+ Youth Mental Health that many LGBTQ+ young people of color would benefit from increased access to culturally competent mental health support. Trevor centers intersectionality in our work by designing our programs for the many identities that make up the fabric of our community. We use our research to advance visibility, provide…
