Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
Last year we successfully intervened with 8 youth to prevent suicide. We also found housing for 8 homeless youth. Providing safe space for youth, improving self-awareness, confidence and helping youth develop a positive self-image saves lives!
Project Message
At Pridelines I learned to love & accept myself. Before I came here, I thought about suicide all the time… Meeting other LGBT youth & hearing theirs stories changed my life! Now I believe in myself…
