💨 Abstract

As of July 17, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline will discontinue the "Press 3" option for LGBTQ+ youth and young adults, a move criticized by mental health advocates. The Trump administration, via the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, aims to serve "all help seekers." Critics argue this change will endanger LGBTQ+ youth, particularly the transgender community and posture it as an example of harmful legislations.
