LGBTQ+ children are feeling more targeted than ever—and the data backs it up.
According to The Trevor Project’s 2024 National Survey on LGBTQ+ Youth Mental Health:
90% of LGBTQ+ youth said recent politics negatively impacted their mental health.
1 in 3 trans and nonbinary youth reported being physically threatened or harmed due to their gender identity.
39% of LGBTQ+ youth seriously considered suicide in the past year.
This isn’t just about politics. It’s about real kids absorbing messages that they’re not safe, not supported, and not wanted.
We must do better—for them, and with them.
Now more than ever, programs that support and protect LGBTQ+ youth—including suicide prevention training for parents—are urgently needed.
Thank You to Our Donors: You're Helping Save Lives
Because of your support, mothers of LGBTQ+ children are getting the suicide prevention training they need—for free.
Every donation helps provide tools, resources, and hope to moms who are doing the critical work of standing by their kids, especially when they’re most at risk.
LGBTQ+ youth are more than four times as likely to attempt suicide than their peers. But with just one supportive adult—especially a parent—that risk drops dramatically.
Your generosity is turning compassion into action.
You’re helping moms become stronger advocates and safer spaces.
You’re making sure no child feels alone or unworthy of love.
Thank you for investing in families, in love, and in life.
Let’s keep going. Together, we can build a world where every LGBTQ+ child knows they are seen, valued, and protected.
