Whereas the White Home had signaled earlier this yr that it will now not fund the LGBTQ youth service, “Press 3 choice,” of the Nationwide Suicide and Disaster Lifeline beginning in 2026, it had mentioned funding for the remainder of this yr would stay unchanged.

However the Substance Abuse and Psychological Well being Companies Administration (SAMHSA) introduced Tuesday it will “no longer silo” this system. 

“The Fiscal Year 2023 Omnibus included a Congressional directive for $29.7 million to fund the specialized service,” the company mentioned in an announcement.

“Federal funding in FY24 for the Press 3 services increased to $33 million. As of June 2025, more than $33 million in funds have been spent to support the subnetworks, fully expending the monies allocated for 988 Lifeline LGB+ subnetwork services.” 

The Well being Division’s annual price range “does not, however, grant taxpayer money to a chat service where children are encouraged to embrace radical gender ideology by ‘counselors’ without consent or knowledge of their parents,” mentioned Rachel Cauley, a spokesperson for the White Home’s Workplace of Administration and Price range.  

The Trevor Mission, which responds to roughly half of 988 calls and texts from LGBTQ+ youth, mentioned it had acquired a stop-work order from the Trump administration. 

“This is devastating, to say the least. Suicide prevention is about people, not politics,” mentioned Jaymes Black, the Trevor Mission’s CEO. “The administration’s decision to remove a bipartisan, evidence-based service that has effectively supported a high-risk group of young people through their darkest moments is incomprehensible.”  

GOP Rep. Mike Lawler (N.Y.) additionally spoke out in opposition to the transfer, saying on Wednesday, “This is wrong,” adding that “the 988 hotline has been a lifesaver.”
