Answer:
In 2022, a pilot project was launched for LGBTQI+ people under 25 to access affirming support via the 988 Lifeline by calling 988 and pressing #3. People could also text the word “PRIDE” to 988 or check off the LGBTQI+ box in a pre-chat survey to be connected to a counselor to receive needed support. The LGBTQI+ subnetwork was formalized in 2023. On June 17, 2025, SAMHSA announced the closure of the LGBTQI+ subnetwork, effective July 17, 2025.
