Response aims to be a space where people can share their authentic selves openly and without fear of judgement. As some celebrate National Coming Out day loudly, others may have a more private experience. Wherever you are in your journey, we will meet you there.
As we celebrate Coming Out Day together, we are also excited to share that Response Crisis Center is now one of the organizations answering the LGBTQ+ Youth option for 988. Supporting this line has already been a meaningful experience for our team since this option returned on September 30th, and we are grateful to be a part of the team providing specialized services to this community.
If you or somebody you know needs to talk, we are here to listen. Visit chat.988lifeline.org/ and check the box for LGBTQ+ Youth and Young Adults,
Call 988 and select Option 3, or Text PRIDE to 988 to start the conversation.
Interesting Fact: The First Coming Out Day took place on October 11, 1988. That year has a pretty important number to us hidden in it...did you notice?
