With the recent infusion of capital, The Trevor Project is poised to execute a comprehensive expansion of its 24/7 crisis infrastructure. The strategic roadmap prioritizes the integration of crisis services into high-traffic social media platforms, including Facebook Messenger and Instagram, to meet youth where they are digitally.
