Trans Lifeline is a peer support and crisis hotline 501(c)(3) non-profit organization offering phone support to transgender people.[1][2] It is the first transgender crisis hotline to exist in the United States as well as Canada.[3][4][5] It is also the only suicide hotline whose operators are all transgender.[6][7][4][5] As of 2019, the organization was host to approximately 95 volunteers in addition to a small paid staff.[6] The US number is (877) 565-8860. The Canada number is (877) 330-6366.[8] As of January 1, 2024, budgetary restrictions have forced a reduction in operating hours; the hotline is available Monday–Friday, 10 AM to 6 PM, Pacific time (1 PM to 9 PM Eastern time).[9]
The organization previously offered a microgrant program, but suspended it in November 2023 for lack of available funds.[10][11]
