The shutdown of the US Suicide helpline is NOT true. It is active, and is not being targeted as a whole.

Trump's targeting the part serving the LGBTQ+ community. It'd shut down in Oct if the leaked budget goes thru.

This misinformation is potentially harmful. Please update in a repost.

LGBTQ Suicide Hotline at Risk Under Trump’s HHS Budget Proposal
The 988 LGBTQ crisis line is still active. Proposed cuts wouldn’t take effect until October, if approved by Congress.

Ah, just to be clear I completely agree with you in that regard.

It’s talking about alleged specialized services that *are* part of the 988/suicide hotline system, not about Trans Lifeline which, as you said, is independent of the 988 system.

It’s not even official yet. It’s from alleged internal documents where it’s supposedly being considered. From what I can find, nothing is set in stone yet

To anyone confused (reasonably so), what’s allegedly potentially being shut down if leaked budget proposals go through is the suicide hotline’s specialized services for LGBTQ+ people.

It’s *partially* true, if what I’m finding is correct. There’s apparently specialized services for LGBTQ+ people that allegedly would be shut down with leaked budget proposals. I absolutely agree though, how they put it is incredibly misleading.

I joined a discord ttrpg server close to a decade ago… Pretty much everyone I actively socialize with online is from there 🤣
