January 2026
We are committed to building off of the deep work we started this year and to continuing to be a beacon of hope for trans people everywhere. Hope grounds us and provides a foundation for our work moving forward, and we know that from this place, action becomes possible. ✨🏳️⚧️🫂
And with the incredible support we have received from our community and partners, we have reached one of our organization’s milestones: reflecting on 2025 and planning for 2026 together during an Org-wide Offline Retreat!
We feel grateful to be able to gather in ways that feel good for us, under this common goal of growing our work and making it our reality. 2025 was a challenging year, but what came out of it was understanding what we are up against, trusting and regaining our foundation, and knowing that we will continue to show up for our community – in familiar and creative ways!
To look back at what we accomplished this past year, check out one of our latest posts: 2025 was a year of Collective Action
Starting Monday, January 5 through Friday, January 9, Trans Lifeline will be offline. We want to stay focused as a collective. Our hope in doing this is that we will be refocused and come back with a renewed sense of purpose and clarity. We will be back on Monday, January 12th!
We understand that a time of crisis waits for no one. If you need extra support, we have released a resource kit to help. It includes other vetted and trusted hotlines and resources that you can access at any time. Check them out below!
Thank you again for your continued support and understanding. We’re excited to start this new year refreshed and renewed with you! We will see you so soon! <3
Hotlines and Warmlines
Please note that, in most cases, these hotlines and warmlines can provide alternatives to police intervention and avoid using police. It’s always good to ask about their policies before disclosing information that could lead to an involuntary intervention or forced hospitalization. Some utilize other first responders, such as mobile crisis units with mental health professionals, who are mandated reporters and can administer psychiatric assessments that may trigger forced hospitalization.
Self-help and Coping Strategies
Supporting a Friend in Crisis
Providers and Additional Resources
The majority of these resources are not affiliated with Trans Lifeline, and we can’t guarantee accuracy, services, or products. Community accountability is important, so if there’s something we should know about a resource listed here or if you’d like to recommend a resource, let us know.
