The Trevor Project's new report highlights the alarming mental health crisis among LGBTQ+ youth in the U.S., exacerbated by recent discriminatory policies and political rhetoric. It reveals that 90% of LGBTQ+ youth feel their mental health has suffered due to politics, with nearly 40% considering suicide. Access to mental health care remains a significant issue, with half of those seeking help unable to receive it due to fear or financial constraints. Regional differences also affect mental health outcomes, with varied levels of acceptance and discrimination impacting youth experiences.
Many of these state findings are grim, and they signal serious gaps in resources and outsized mental health challenges for already marginalized youth that we simply must address.
The report's findings illuminate the harsh reality that 90% of LGBTQ+ young people feel that recent politics have negatively affected their mental health.
