The Trevor Project gets press from CNN

Posted July 2nd, 2008, by Advocate Ellie

The peer advocates at loveisrespect know that dating abuse happens in all types of teen relationships, including same sex relationships. We take calls and chats every day from GLBTQ teens and talk to them about healthy relationships, safety planning, and if they’re ready, how to end an abusive relationship.

When any of our callers/chatters need help with issues other than dating abuse, we try to give them a resource that can help. As part of our new and improved blog, we’d like to feature those resources on occasion - today we start with the Trevor Project.

Oftentimes, GLBTQ youth have needs that fall outside the area of dating abuse. In these cases, a great resource for GLBTQ youth is the Trevor Project. The Trevor Project has awesomely fabulous advocates to help out with all sorts of life problems that GLBTQ youth could be going through. That’s why we were thrilled to see the Trevor Project profiled by CNN today. Congrats, Trevor Project, keep doing what you’re doing!
