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.
