Wednesday, January 22, 2025 – The Trevor Project, the leading suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for LGBTQ+ young people, shared that its classic crisis services (lifeline, chat, text) reported significant increases in volume related to the 2025 Presidential Inauguration. This volume increase follows a record-breaking 700% increase observed across The Trevor Project’s crisis lines on November 6, 2024, the day after the 2024 elections.

“No matter your political beliefs or how you feel about the current administration, one thing must be made clear to all of us living in the United States: real young people’s lives are at risk – and we must take immediate action to support LGBTQ+ youth,” said Jaymes Black (they/she/he), CEO of The Trevor Project. “Suicide prevention transcends politics. And we are sounding the alarm for all lawmakers, community leaders, and adults who care about the health and survival of young people in their communities: The political targeting of LGBTQ+ youth – and transgender and nonbinary youth in particular – must stop. Whether it was the 700% increase on our lines following election day in November, or the 46% increase we saw yesterday, we urge lawmakers and the media to recognize the impact that their rhetoric can have on young people’s health and safety, and do better. For any LGBTQ+ young person who needs support, The Trevor Project remains here for you, always.” 

The Trevor Project’s crisis volume data analysis found:

  • On January 21, 2025, the day after Inauguration Day, The Trevor Project’s classic crisis services (phone, text, and chat) saw a 46% increase in volume compared to typical daily rates observed in weeks prior.
  • On January 20, 2025, Inauguration Day, The Trevor Project’s classic crisis services (phone, text, and chat) saw a 33% increase in volume compared to typical rates observed in weeks prior.
