Daniel Radcliffe has been a strong supporter of The Trevor Project for several years now, speaking out for the organisation, helping promote their mission and appearing in PSAs (one of which you can see below). Now Harry Potter is going to host a live online chat this Sunday (September 16th, 2012) to talk about The Trevor Project’s Talk To Me campaign. The Trevor Project is the leading US organisation providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning youth.
The chat is being timed to coincide with National Suicide Prevention Month, with Radcliffe helping host the chat that will look at ways of trying to prevent suicide and make life better for LGBT people, particularly young people, in crisis. The Talk To Me campaign according to its website, ‘is The Trevor Project’s campaign for conversation. With 3 simple words – talk to me – you let a friend know that you CARE about them and are willing to listen without judgment. During National Suicide Prevention Month in September we encourage you to take the Talk to Me pledge and let the ones you love know you’re always available to talk.’
It’s a great idea, and Daniel will be helping out. You can even ask him a question via the Talk To Me website, ahead of the chat at 2.00pm EST (7.00pm BST) on Sunday, 16th September, 2012.
