Recognized by TIME100, Driven by Data: Why We’re Listening Closely to LGBTQ+ Youth in 2025

Earlier this year, I had the honor of being named to the TIME100 Health list for my work at The Trevor Project, where I lead research focused on preventing suicide among LGBTQ+ young people. At the TIME100 Impact Dinner, I gave a toast that was both deeply personal and grounded in data – sharing what it means to watch my own transgender son thrive when surrounded by affirmation, and what the research shows about how life-saving that support can be. From teachers and parents to crisis counselors and policymakers, we each have a role to play in creating safer, more supportive environments for LGBTQ+ youth.

That’s why I’m encouraging every LGBTQ+ young person ages 13 to 24 to take part in The Trevor Project’s 2025 U.S. National Survey on the Mental Health of LGBTQ+ Young People, which is live now. This survey helps us better understand the challenges young people are facing – and informs the programs, resources, and policy advocacy that can truly save lives. If you don’t personally qualify, I hope you’ll share it with someone who does. Every voice matters, and every response helps ensure LGBTQ+ youth are seen, supported, and counted.

And because you often can’t see a disability just by looking at someone, LGBTQ+ young people with communication disorders can find themselves feeling invisible. Having a non-visible…

Senior Research Scientist Myeshia Price On The Data Behind Black Queer Intersectionality

I am Myeshia Price, (she/they), a senior research scientist at The Trevor Project. I am a parent, I am Black, and I am queer. Drawing from an intersectional perspective, a person’s social location — or position in society based on a collection of social demographics such as race, class, sexual orientation, etc. — provides unique experiences for people with multiple identities that are marginalized in that society. Together, these various identities shape a person’s lived experiences. As such, being a Black queer person comes with so very many intersections of strengths to pull from, and sources of joy, but can…
