LGBTQ+ Mental Health Resources & Affirming Care

LGBTQ+ people face higher rates of depression, anxiety, and suicidality — driven by discrimination, family rejection, and minority stress, not by being LGBTQ+. Affirming mental health care recognizes this and treats clients without trying to change who they are.

The Trevor Project (call 988 and press 3, or text START to 678-678) supports LGBTQ+ youth in crisis 24/7. The Trans Lifeline (1-877-565-8860) is staffed by trans operators for trans callers. This directory lists LGBTQ+-affirming clinics, community centers, and support groups in your state.
