THE GLBT NATIONAL HELP CENTER
The glbt National Help Center is a nonprofit, tax-exempt
organization that is dedicated to meeting the needs of the
gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community and
those questioning their sexual orientation and gender
identity. It is an outgrowth of the Gay & Lesbian National
Hotline, which began in 1996 and now is a primary
program of The glbt National Help Center. It offers several
different programs including two national hotlines that help
members of the glbt community talk about the important
issues that they are facing in their lives. It helps end the
isolation that many people feel, by providing a safe
environment on the phone or via the internet to discuss
issues that people can’t talk about anywhere else. The glbt
National Help Center also helps other organizations build
the infrastructure they need to provide strong support to our
community at the local level.
