Specific LGBTQ+ Support for Young Adults was Removed from 988 Lifeline
988 will still take calls; additional resources below.
Effective July 17, 2025
The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is removing the “Press 3” option that connected LGBTQ+ youth to specialized, affirming counselors.
This change is the result of a federal budget cuts which eliminated funding for LGBTQ-specific services. General 988 support remains available, but LGBTQ+ youth will no longer have direct access to trained LGBTQ+ crisis counselors.
988 will still answer calls from everyone, but it will no longer offer identity-specific crisis support.

Specific LGBTQ+ Support for Young Adults was Removed from 988 Lifeline
988 will still take calls; additional resources below.
Effective July 17, 2025
The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is removing the “Press 3” option that connected LGBTQ+ youth to specialized, affirming counselors.
This change is the result of a federal budget cuts which eliminated funding for LGBTQ-specific services. General 988 support remains available, but LGBTQ+ youth will no longer have direct access to trained LGBTQ+ crisis counselors.
988 will still answer calls from everyone, but it will no longer offer identity-specific crisis support.

Specific LGBTQ+ Support for Young Adults was Removed from 988 Lifeline
988 will still take calls; additional resources below.
Effective July 17, 2025
The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is removing the “Press 3” option that connected LGBTQ+ youth to specialized, affirming counselors.
This change is the result of a federal budget cuts which eliminated funding for LGBTQ-specific services. General 988 support remains available, but LGBTQ+ youth will no longer have direct access to trained LGBTQ+ crisis counselors.
988 will still answer calls from everyone, but it will no longer offer identity-specific crisis support.

Specific LGBTQ+ Support for Young Adults was Removed from 988 Lifeline
988 will still take calls; additional resources below.
Effective July 17, 2025
The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is removing the “Press 3” option that connected LGBTQ+ youth to specialized, affirming counselors.
This change is the result of a federal budget cuts which eliminated funding for LGBTQ-specific services. General 988 support remains available, but LGBTQ+ youth will no longer have direct access to trained LGBTQ+ crisis counselors.
988 will still answer calls from everyone, but it will no longer offer identity-specific crisis support.

Specific LGBTQ+ Support for Young Adults was Removed from 988 Lifeline
988 will still take calls; additional resources below.
Effective July 17, 2025
The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is removing the “Press 3” option that connected LGBTQ+ youth to specialized, affirming counselors.
This change is the result of a federal budget cuts which eliminated funding for LGBTQ-specific services. General 988 support remains available, but LGBTQ+ youth will no longer have direct access to trained LGBTQ+ crisis counselors.
988 will still answer calls from everyone, but it will no longer offer identity-specific crisis support.

Specific LGBTQ+ Support for Young Adults was Removed from 988 Lifeline
988 will still take calls; additional resources below.
Effective July 17, 2025
The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is removing the “Press 3” option that connected LGBTQ+ youth to specialized, affirming counselors.
This change is the result of a federal budget cuts which eliminated funding for LGBTQ-specific services. General 988 support remains available, but LGBTQ+ youth will no longer have direct access to trained LGBTQ+ crisis counselors.
988 will still answer calls from everyone, but it will no longer offer identity-specific crisis support.
