Federal Government to Relaunch LGBTQ+ 988 Support Option Without The Trevor Project

The federal government plans to relaunch a specialized LGBTQ+ support option for youth contacting the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline later this year. While the Trump administration intends to restore this dedicated service, the Trevor Project—the organization that originally developed and piloted the initiative—will not participate in the new iteration of the program.

The 988 crisis line currently routes callers to a network of local and national call centers, but the specialized LGBTQ+ option provides targeted support for young people facing identity-related mental health challenges. Federal officials confirmed the upcoming relaunch of this specific service, though they have not yet disclosed which organizations will manage the operations or provide the specialized training for the new version of the hotline. The Trevor Project, which previously operated the service under a federal contract, confirmed its exclusion from the upcoming relaunch. The transition marks a shift in the management of the specialized resource, as the government prepares to integrate the service back into the broader 988 infrastructure without the involvement of its founding partner.
