LGBTQ+ Youth – Suicide Prevention Messaging

Why they’re vulnerable:

LGBTQ+ youth often face bullying, family rejection, social isolation, and identity-based discrimination. These risk factors can lead to feelings of hopelessness and increased suicidality.

Tone: Affirming, inclusive, and identity-safe.

Core Messages:

• ‘Your identity is valid. Your life matters.’
• ‘You are not what others say about you—you are who you know yourself to be.’
• ‘Safe spaces exist. People who care exist. Keep going until you find them.’
• ‘There’s strength in being yourself—and there’s help built just for you.’
