Background
The Trevor Project estimates that more than 1.8 million LGBTQ youth (13-24) seriously consider suicide each year in the U.S. — and at least one attempts suicide every 45 seconds.
Suicide affects people of all ages. In 2021, suicide was among the top 9 leading causes of death for people ages 10-64. Suicide was the second leading cause of death for people ages 10-14 and 20-34
There were 46,412 suicides among adults in 2021. But suicides are just the tip of the iceberg. For every suicide death*, there were about:
- 3 hospitalizations for self-harm
- 8 emergency department visits related to suicide
- 38 self-reported suicide attempts in the past year
- 265 people who seriously considered suicide in the past year Contribute to The Trevor Project
