About The Trevor Project:
The Trevor Project is a free, confidential suicide prevention helpline for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth. The Trevor Project was founded by writer James Lecesne, director/producer Peggy Rajski and producer Randy Stone, creators of the 1994 short film, Trevor–a comedy/drama about a gay 13-year-old boy who, when rejected by friends because of his sexuality, makes an attempt to take his life.


Today, in addition to operating the crisis and suicide prevention helpline, The Trevor Project provides online support to young people and resources for parents and educators.
How You Can Get Help:
The Trevor Project maintains a 24 hour helpline. Those that need assistance can dial 866.4.U.Trevor (866.488.7386) or can "ask Trevor" for help online.
