NASHVILLE, Tenn., June 20,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Newport Healthcare, the
nation's leading provider of evidence-based behavioral health
treatment for youth, young adults, and families, is proud to
announce that it has partnered once again with The Trevor Project,
the world's largest suicide prevention and crisis intervention
organization for LGBTQ young people. This marks the fourth year of
the collaboration, celebrated annually during Pride Month,
reaffirming Newport Healthcare's commitment to providing inclusive
care and allyship for LGBTQ youth.
The Trevor Project's 2024 U.S. National Survey on the Mental
Health of LGBTQ+ Young People shows that LGBTQ+ young people have
disproportionately higher rates of suicide and that far too many
struggle to access the mental health care they need. In the last
year alone, The Trevor Project has received over 250,000 crisis
contacts from LGBTQ youth, underscoring the urgent need for
accessible mental health support and effective suicide prevention
strategies. Newport Healthcare is one of The Trevor Project's
treatment resources for young people calling the crisis line.
Joe Procopio, CEO of Newport
Healthcare, emphasized the importance of this partnership: "We
believe that every young person deserves to feel safe, valued, and
understood. Our partnership with The Trevor Project is part of our
commitment to continue providing informed best practices that
support the mental health of LGBTQ youth, a community that faces
unique challenges and higher risks of mental health issues.
Together, we can help young people access inclusive and supportive
mental health treatment to save lives."
Newport Healthcare and The Trevor Project previously partnered
to provide ally training to Newport's 3,500+ employees, helping to ensure
inclusive treatment experiences. This year, the two organizations
are joining forces for a free continuing education (CE) webinar for
mental health professionals on the topic of suicide prevention in
transgender and nonbinary youth. The session helps equip mental
health professionals with the knowledge and tools necessary to
support transgender and nonbinary youth, who are among the most
vulnerable within the LGBTQ community.
In addition to promoting awareness, training, and education
about the unique mental health challenges of LGBTQ youth,
Newport is dedicated to increasing
mental health treatment accessibility and affordability for all
young people with its nationwide footprint and in-network status
with many major insurers. To learn more about Newport Healthcare's
