    The nation’s Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, 988, shuttered the specialized services for LGBTQ+ youth this week. The move came a day after the Lifeline marked three years since its launch. During this period, it has fielded more than 16 million calls, texts and chats. Nearly 10% of those contacts have been from gay and transgender young people, according to government data.
    “This is a tragic moment,” says Mark Henson, VP of government affairs…

    Reminder to LGBTQ #Allies who want to #volunteer that groups like the #TrevorProject and #SuicideHotline were overwhelmed during previous administrations, along with other #charity groups like your local #FoodBank as what became the 2019 economic crisis set in. Be sure to support them if you can.

  4. CW: TW: self-harm, volunteer opportunity

    Just wanted to remind everyone that, in 2016, when Trump declared victory, the #SuicideHotline was completely overwhelmed with mostly #queer, mostly #teen Americans who had lost hope in their future and were considering #suicide.

    If you are someone who is not personally emotionally affected by this election, please look into #volunteering in the next 24 hours.

    Donald Trump will declare victory before the votes are counted tomorrow night, and this will result in a wave of panic, during which they will likely be overwhelmed once again.

  5. CW: List of useful links when in emotional distress

    I just stumbled over this list and thought it might be useful for somebody here (not sure whether the fediverse is a place of congregation for people with MH issues or if people feel here safer to talk about their feelings).

    Super #emotional tonight. Not sure why.

    Lady called in and needed transferred to the #SuicideHotline. The phone systems weren't working properly and it was upsetting me as much as it was her. Ended up in tears and had to take a slight break from the phones.

    Then I am watching #AmbulanceAustralia and a baby has a seizure and stops breathing.

    More tears.

    Good grief. Good thing my shift is almost over.
