Trans Lifeline — peer support by and for trans people
U.S./Canada peer support hotline staffed entirely by trans operators.
Trans Lifeline3 min read
Trans Lifeline is a peer-support hotline, not a clinical line. Its operators are all trans-identified, and the line is explicitly non-carceral: it does not contact emergency services without the caller's consent. That policy matters for callers who have had negative experiences with police welfare checks.
Reachable in the U.S. at 1-877-565-8860 and in Canada at 1-877-330-6366.
