One-to-One Online Peer Support Chat
LGBT National Help Center
Trained LGBTQIA+ peer volunteers provide free, confidential, focused one-to-one support through an English-language web chat.
How to get help
Open the official chat page during service hours and select the link to begin chat. If all volunteers are occupied, try again after a few minutes. A volunteer may request a ZIP code or city and state to search for local resources, but not an exact address.
Who this service helps
Anyone able to access the website and converse in English who needs focused one-to-one LGBTQIA+ peer support; casual chatting is outside the program's scope.

About this service
The online peer-support chat offers a text-based safe space for people who cannot or prefer not to speak by phone. Volunteers listen, affirm, and discuss concerns such as coming out, sexuality or gender identity, relationships, bullying, workplace issues, HIV/AIDS anxiety, safer sex, suicide, and other needs, and can search an LGBTQIA+ resource database for additional help.
