At The Trevor Project, we believe in the life-changing power of just one accepting adult. For LGBTQ+ young people, that one person can be the difference between feeling seen and loved or feeling alone. This year, we’re reinforcing our mission to Be The One — an invitation to become that supportive presence for LGBTQ+ youth, helping create a world where every young person feels safe, celebrated, and hopeful for the future.

Acceptance matters. Young people who felt supported by even one person, like a parent or caregiver, typically had more than 40% lower odds of attempting suicide. These are more than numbers; they’re stories of lives changed and lives saved. In our latest video, LGBTQ+ young people share what it means to have a supportive adult in their lives and the incredible difference it has made for them. Watch now to hear their powerful stories and learn how you, too, can make a difference.

Our Be The One resource page also offers inspiring stories and practical ways to make a difference for LGBTQ+ young people. You’ll also find a dedicated space to share your own words of encouragement and affirmation. By fostering acceptance and allyship, you’re helping create a safer world for LGBTQ+ youth everywhere. We’re here to support you with every conversation you start, and every moment you show up.

Share your support with LGBTQ+ young people today and explore these stories of hope. Together, we can make a meaningful difference.

Support from individuals like you enables The Trevor Project to continue our work to end LGBTQ+ youth suicide through our crisis services as well as the development of resources and guides like these to promote education and allyship.
