In this edition of The Paths Forward we’ll speak with team members at The Trevor Project, the world’s largest suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for LGBTQ young people.
We’ll start with their CEO, Amit Paley, who will share his thoughts abouttheir corporate culture.
According to a recent survey, 39% of LGBTQ youth seriously considered attempting suicide in the past 12 months, with more than half transgender youth seriously considering the same thing. Those are alarming statistics. But if you are a young person in crisis, feeling suicidal, and in need of a safe and judgment-free place to talk, there is such a place to turn to. It’s called The Trevor Project, and it’s a pleasure to have with us tonight their CEO and Executive Director, Amit Paley.
