Original: "The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline has restored the 'Press 3' option connecting LGBTQ+ youth to targeted support service
The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline has restored the 'Press 3' option that connects LGBTQ+ youth to specialized support services. The option had been unavailable from the national crisis hotline for more than a year before its return. News of the restoration, reported by the Los Angeles Times, is drawing attention from advocates and mental health observers, who have closely followed the availability of targeted crisis support for young LGBTQ+ callers since the option disappeared.
Why now: The restoration of specialized crisis support for LGBTQ+ youth, after more than a year without it, is significant news for mental health and LGBTQ+ communities.
