Jordan, a 22-year-old college student, faced a mental health crisis after being rejected by his family for coming out. He found himself in a dark place, with nowhere to turn for immediate help. At PrideFunding, we understand the urgent need for crisis intervention services tailored for the LGBTQ+ community.
How We Plan to Help:
Establish a 24/7 Crisis Helpline:
We plan to create a dedicated crisis helpline staffed by trained counselors, providing immediate support and resources for LGBTQ+ individuals in distress.
Crisis Text Line:
To accommodate those who prefer texting, we aim to offer a crisis text line, allowing individuals to receive confidential support via text message anytime they need it.
Mobile Crisis Response Team:
For situations requiring immediate, on-site intervention, we plan to establish a mobile crisis response team to provide support, de-escalate crises, and connect individuals to further care and resources.
Impact:
Implementing these crisis intervention services will provide a lifeline for LGBTQ+ individuals like Jordan, helping them stabilize during times of acute distress and connecting them to the long-term support they need to recover.
How You Can Help:
Your contributions will enable us to establish and maintain these vital crisis intervention services. By donating, volunteering, or raising awareness, you can help us reach and support those in crisis.
Join us in our mission to offer life-saving support to LGBTQ+ individuals during their most critical times. Together, we can create a safer, more supportive community.
