Who it’s for
Everyone (text-based).
Anyone who just needs to talk — you don’t have to be in crisis to reach out.
Friends or family looking for guidance on how to help a young person.
What to expect
Reaching out is your choice, and you’re in control the whole time. You can share only what you want to, and you’re never rushed. Everything Outline lists is chosen because it treats LGBTQ+ young people with respect.
In immediate danger? If you or someone else is at risk right now, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
