Description:

The Trump administration will shut down the national LGBTQ youth suicide lifeline in 30 days.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) announced Tuesday that the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline will no longer use its LGBTQ youth services, also known as the “Press 3 option,” effective July 17.

The agency said it will "no longer silo LGB+ youth services" — notably removing the "T" representing the trans community in the initialism — to "focus on serving all help seekers, including those previously served through the Press 3 option."
