New data from the Trevor Project, the main suicide prevention organization for LGBTQ youth in the United States, reveals that more than one in 10 young people who identify as LGBTQ attempted suicide in 2023.
The new national survey of LGBTQ young people shows high rates of suicide risk, harmful impacts of anti-LGBTQ politics and anti-LGBTQ bullying.
The report also details and breaks down the percentages for each group, with suicidal ideation and suicide attempts. The 37-page “2024 U.S.
National Survey on the Mental Health of LGBTQ Young People” included responses from 18,000 people aged 13 to 24, according to the organization.
