Trump's Funding Threat

The Trump administration's potential cuts to the 988 LGBTQ+ Youth Suicide Prevention service threaten the well-being of over 1.2 million young people who have relied on its support since July 2022. Advocates fear this move could exacerbate the mental health crisis among LGBTQ+ youth, already heightened by anti-LGBTQ policies. The Trevor Project vows to continue its vital support amidst these funding challenges.

Candidates Oppose Bill

Three candidates in the Northwest Territories are standing firm against Alberta's Bill 26, which prohibits gender-affirming treatments for youth under 16. They warn that this legislation jeopardizes mental health, as delays in necessary care can result in devastating psychological consequences. Advocates are rallying for accessible gender-affirming care, condemning the bill as a harmful attack on transgender youth.
