Crisis / Support Lines

PLEASE NOTE: Some Crisis Hotlines may track callers or send emergency services without consent. While I know Trans Lifeline does not do this, I cannot attest to other hotlines listed below. Mad In America (MIA) has a spreadsheet of hotlines who confirmed whether they do/do not do this, located here.

Trans Lifeline: Other Hotlines and Warmlines

Per Trans Hotline: TO KNOW BEFORE USING OTHER HOTLINES & WARMLINES: To our knowledge, all of these hotline, chat, text, and warmline services employ nonconsensual active rescue. This means potentially using your geolocation with 911, first responders, and potential law enforcement, under certain circumstances, without your informed consent. None of these policies are made available to callers. Mandated reporting can also trigger services such as CPS and APS. When using these services, ask what may happen if you share information about potential or actual harm to yourself or someone else – before sharing details.
