Trump administration cuts suicide hotline for LGBTQ+ youth
Season 2025
Episode 172
About the Episode
Next month, the Trump administration will end specialized support on the 988 national suicide prevention hotline for young LGBTQ+ callers — a group that has disproportionately high suicide rates. The administration said the hotline will “no longer silo LGB+ youth services,” omitting the “T” for transgender, and “focus on serving all help seekers.” KFF’s Lindsey Dawson joins John Yang to discuss.
