988's LGBTQ+ hotline to relaunch this year. But the group that helped start it might be excluded
The Trump administration plans to relaunch the LGBTQ+ youth crisis line under the 988 hotline but may exclude The Trevor Project, the organization that helped develop it. The service, which previously fielded 1.6 million contacts, was halted in July due to funding issues but is set to restart with $33 million allocated by Congress. Critics argue excluding The Trevor Project undermines efforts to support LGBTQ+ youth, who face higher suicide risks.
