One year later, 988 still doesn’t have a hotline for LGBTQ+ youth

In the 19th, a significant issue has been ongoing for the past year. The 988 national suicide and crisis hotline no longer has a specialized service for LGBTQ+ youth. This change occurred after the service's federal funding ran out. The discontinuation of this service has left a gap in support for LGBTQ+ young people in the area. It is known that during Pride month last year, a large number of LGBTQ+ youth sought help from the hotline. Further details about the situation and potential plans to restore the service are available from the source.
