…I was just now reading a little about the Trevor Project because it’s not something that I was familiar with…it’s a non profit organisation founded in 1998…?…so it was up and running when Trump was in his first term as President…but it wasn’t something that he prioritised to ‘scrap’ then…?…so why now…?…and has he researched the ofganisation for him to come to the decision that it’s not something that needs to continue…?…it doesn’t feel as though he has, it feels very much like Farage in commenting on an intended blanket removal of diversity funding just because these things appear to be more populist decision making …and that in itself is very concerning, but not surprising sadly…I don’t know how Government funding in the US works, it’s such a huge country in comparison to us but there does appear to be National funding as well as individual State funding…and as we (…rightly …)…criticise the reduction/removal of funding for more vulnerable and marginalised groups here, then this just feels like such a blow for mental health/people in crisis in general…I know when the mental health funding specifically for children was cut and child services reduced and removed, it’s had a huge negative impact and that impact just becomes more and more…
