A survey just released by The Trevor Project, a national organization focused on suicide prevention efforts among LGBTQ youth, revealed that little has changed since its previous study in 2021.
Trans and queer youth are struggling with mental health issues and, in many cases, not finding the health services or support they need.
Released May 4, the 2022 survey is the fourth documenting "the experiences of nearly 34,000 LGBTQ youth ages 13-24 across the United States," according to the nonprofit.
Forty-five percent of respondents were youth of color and 48% described themselves as transgender or nonbinary. The Bay Area Reporter was given the results of the survey, conducted between September 20 and December 31, ahead of their official release.
