Donald Trump’s administration made a great decision in the midst of reported budget cuts

The Administrative Health Agency, Samhsa, announced on TuesdayOn June 17, it will end the 988 suicide and Crisis Lifeline’s LGBTQ+ Youth program. The official end date was set on 17 July.

After the release of 2022, this service has supported support for queer under 25 years of age. These include family issues, winning bullying, or fighting mental health battles.

Samhsa’s own numbers claim that the hint line has dealt with more than 1.3 million calls, texts and discussions for LGBTQ+ young people. About 2100 people reach their services daily in February.

However, the administration now says that it is because everyone receives help while reducing financial costs. In its statement, the Agency removed LGBTQ+”T” when notifying the change. Anyone who calls 988 combines culturally conscious advisors, officials said.

“Every 988 Lifeline reception will continue to access the professional, caring, culturally qualified crisis advisors who can help suicide, substance abuse or mental health crises, or other type of emotional anxiety.

Here brought the change
