Bill overview
This bill, the 988 LGBTQ+ Youth Access Act of 2025, aims to improve support for LGBTQ+ youth seeking help through the 988 suicide prevention lifeline. It recognizes that LGBTQ+ youth are disproportionately affected by suicidal thoughts and attempts, and that the 988 lifeline’s specialized services are currently underutilized. The bill directs the Department of Health and Human Services to allocate resources, specifically 9% of the allocated funds, to establish and maintain specialized support options – including a dedicated ‘Press 3’ option – for LGBTQ+ youth contacting the hotline.
