Heather Dubrow, star of The Real Housewives of Orange County (RHOC) and longtime supporter of The Trevor Project, generously partnered with Junior Cookies in Los Angeles to create limited-edition cookies that support the organization’s life-saving work. 

Heather held an incredible launch event to promote the cookies, and to raise awareness and funds for The Trevor Project. The event will be featured on The Real Housewives of Orange County – airing Thursday, October 9, 2025 at 9/8c on Bravo.

The ongoing support of Heather, her husband Terry, and Junior Cookies helps the organization continue offering its 24/7 phone lifeline, chat, and text crisis services for free to LGBTQ+ young people in crisis. We interviewed Heather about her passion and commitment to supporting LGBTQ+ youth mental health. 

You recently supported The Trevor Project by hosting a special fundraiser at Junior Cookies on an episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County. Can you share more about why you wanted to support the organization?

I’ve been involved with The Trevor Project for over a decade. The work they do is more important than ever. Our kids are in crisis, as a Mom of four (including LGBTQ+ kids) all I want to do is help protect them.

With such a busy schedule between your businesses, philanthropy work, and filming, how do you ensure you’re taking care of yourself and your own mental health and wellness?

As most Mothers do, I definitely prioritize the needs of my children and family above mine! I do find that daily exercise is very good, not only for my physical health, but the mental load and anxiety that I have.

Can you share more about how you and Terry approach accepting and supportive parenting?

We have always been very aligned on our parenting journey. Communication is key, and we are very proud of the relationships we have carefully fostered with our children.

Please share some words of inspiration for LGBTQ+ young people. 

I wish I could hug every single one of you that is struggling! I’m so glad there’s an organization like The Trevor Project that is there for you in times of crisis. I know things seem bleak right now in many ways, but things will change. Things will get better. We will prevail.

A Back-to-School Message from Trevor’s CEO

Dear Trevor Community, Heading back to school can be an exciting time. As a parent, I know well the anticipation of new teachers, the joy of buying school supplies, and the prospect of new and old friends. I also know as an LGBTQ+ person that heading back to school can bring more than excitement — it can bring new and old anxieties.  At this time of year at The Trevor Project, our Crisis Counselors hear from LGBTQ+ young people who have challenging experiences at school. As a parent and LGBTQ+ person, I want nothing more than to support young people…

Every Single One: Letters to My Younger Self

For LGBTQ folks, gaining hindsight can be beautiful and clarifying. Growing up gives us time to find who we are, perspective to see what’s important, and the ability to heal from the sometimes difficult journey of childhood and young adulthood. This holiday season, we invited LGBTQ celebrities to use that hindsight to write a letter to their younger self, asking them to give advice and support. We hope their wisdom speaks to you, wherever you are on your journey. Here’s what they said: JANELLE MONAE (they/them/she/her) “If I could go back and talk to my younger self, I would say…
