Reaching+Out+to+LGBT+Youth+in+Trouble

..... Tanya Dastyar, Aymon Fournier, Thomas Frank, and David Todd

We propose an application focused on helping Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered, and Questioning youth needing guidance or simply someone to talk to, aimed at decreasing teenage depression and suicides caused by bullying and the fear of acceptance. This text based chatting application will allow users to seamlessly and anonymously gain access not only to licensed professionals to talk to, but a list ofresources that are easily accessible at times of need.
