~ SACRAMENTO - In a shocking move, the Trump administration has announced that it will no longer offer specialized support to LGBTQ callers through the national suicide prevention hotline. This decision has been met with widespread condemnation, including from California Governor Gavin Newsom.
Governor Newsom has expressed his outrage at the federal government's decision, stating that cutting off a proven lifeline for vulnerable youth is "outrageous and inexcusable." He also emphasized that while the Trump administration is turning its back on LGBTQ youth, California will continue to support and invest in their mental health.
This announcement comes as part of the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline program, which was launched in September 2022 and provided specialized support for LGBTQ youth. However, starting on July 17, federal funding for these services will no longer be available. The Trevor Project, an organization dedicated to providing suicide prevention services for LGBTQ youth, estimates that over 1.8 million young people in the United States seriously consider suicide each year and at least one attempts suicide every 45 seconds.

In response to this alarming news, Governor Newsom highlighted California's efforts to support LGBTQ youth. The state currently has 12 centers with trained crisis counselors who can respond to calls or texts from those seeking help during a mental health crisis. Additionally, specialized services for LGBTQ youth and young adults can be accessed directly through the Trevor Project's phone, text or chat services.
California also offers digital mental health support through CalHOPE for non-crisis moments. This includes a warm line where callers can speak with peer counselors who provide compassionate and non-judgmental support and connect them with additional resources.
Governor Newsom's commitment to supporting LGBTQ youth is evident in California's historic investments in mental health. This includes a $4.7 billion Master Plan for Kids' Mental Health and continued partnerships with organizations like the Trevor Project.
As fires continue to ravage the state, Governor Newsom also announced appointments to key positions in the California Department of Transportation. He also proclaimed June 2025 as "LGBTQ+ Pride Month," emphasizing the state's support and celebration of the LGBTQ community.
In contrast to the Trump administration's actions, California remains dedicated to providing vital mental health resources for all its residents, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. With Governor Newsom at the helm, the state will continue to prioritize and invest in the well-being of its LGBTQ youth.
