PS: This is a question I maybe could have answered myself, but are there Trevor initiatives that are directly targeted to Spanish speakers?
AG: Currently, it's an area that we're working on. Our services for crisis services right now are only targeted at those who speak English. We are working on expanding that, and that's one of the goals of our strategic plan in the future. But we do have something called TrevorSpace, which is a peer support system that is designed to help youth around the world connect to each other.
And then we also have our crisis counselors, who are trained to understand the unique needs of diverse populations, and that includes Latinx LGBTQ youth [and] Black LGBTQ youth. And part of that [effort] is this type of research that we're able to do, so we can show these findings and we can say, look: there are concerns related to immigration, there are concerns related to acculturation that we have to consider when we work with these youth, to make sure that we're not further stigmatizing youth who are in crisis, who are coming to us looking for support.
And so there's definitely The Trevor Project focusing on making sure that our services are not just LGBTQ competent but are able to meet the needs of diverse subgroups of LGBTQ youth that includes Latinx youth, which includes Black youth, which includes trans and nonbinary youth.
