Mental Health/Crisis
THRIVE LIFELINE - LINKTREE: THRIVELifeline
In this period, as @translifeline takes a break to care for themselves, we are here for you. THRIVE Lifeline is trans-led and operated. We provide non-carceral, trauma-informed, and text-based support, 24/7/365. Our team is 50% trans and nonbinary, 90% LGBTQ2S+, 66% disabled / neurodivergent, and 58% POC. We personally understand chronic marginalization and are grateful to create an affirming space for you in your most vulnerable times, whether you are in acute crisis or just seeking to talk to someone who understands your identities.
If you need support, day or night, we are here for you. Text “TRANS” to +1.313.662.8209.
