California Deepens Kev cog lus rau LGBTQ + Cov Hluas
In response to the Trump administration’s decision to eliminate specialized suicide prevention support for LGBTQ youth callers through the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, California took action to improve behavioral health services and provide even more affirming and inclusive crisis services for LGBTQ young people. Through a new partnership with The Trevor Project, the California Health and Human Services Agency (CalHHS) is providing the state’s 988 crisis counselors enhanced competency training from experts, ensuring better attunement to the needs of LGBTQ+ youth, on top of the specific training they already receive.
If you, a friend, or a loved one is in crisis or thinking about suicide, you can call, chat, or text 988 and be immediately connected to skilled counselors at all times. Specialized services for LGBTQ+ youth are also available via The Trevor Project hotline at 1-866-488-7386, which continues as a state-endorsed access point. Additional continuum-of-care services, including peer support, are available via CalHOPE, and digital mental health support for youth, young adults, and families is available for non-crisis moments.
