Denver has a lot of trans-related resources and organizations – more than many cities that are significantly larger than Denver. Did you know we have two different health systems that provide transgender surgeries? Or that we have multiple organizations hosting free peer-support groups for trans people? We do!

Trans Lifeline

https://www.translifeline.org/ | 877-565-8860
Trans Lifeline is a grassroots hotline and microgrants 501(c)(3) non-profit organization offering direct emotional and financial support to trans people in crisis – for the trans community, by the trans community.

Trans Lifeline was founded in 2014 as a peer-support crisis hotline. The Hotline was, and still is, the only service in the country in which all operators are transgender. Because of the particularly vulnerable relationship transgender people have with police, it is also the only service in the country with a policy against non-consensual active rescue.
