Only on the "CBS This Morning" podcast, the CEO of The Trevor Project joins CTM lead national correspondent David Begnaud to share how his organization helps lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer young people under the age of 25. Amit Paley started as a volunteer with the organization several years ago, answering phone calls from young people in crisis or contemplating suicide. He shares his trajectory to CEO and the messages of hope he shares with those who turn to the organization for comfort. Plus, he discusses the significance of the 1969 Stone Wall Inn riots on the modern Pride movement, the importance of using the pronouns a person assigns to oneself and how The Trevor Project is teaming up with Google to use artificial intelligence to better assist the community. If you are in crisis, call The Trevor Project hotline at 1-866-488-7386, text "START" to 678678 or visit TheTrevorProject.org.
