Navigating your mental health can be difficult for everyone, but there can be added challenges when you're trans. You might be worried that your GP, youth worker, teachers or therapist won't understand what you're going through. We want you to know that you're not alone.

That's why we've put together some resources that you, or someone you know, might find helpful:

• Pink Therapy - online directory of qualified therapists who identify as or are understanding of minority sexual and gender identities
• Tips and information from Mind about LGBTQ+ mental health support 
• Join a trans, non-binary or questioning youth group with Gendered Intelligence
• You can call MindLine Trans+ on 0300 330 5468 (Mondays and Fridays, 8pm-midnight)
• Find a trans youth group near you with the Proud Trust
• Mermaids provide a helpline and web chat service aimed at supporting transgender and gender-diverse young people up to and including the age of 19
• LGBT Consortium's directory of services for trans people

• you can call LGBT+ switchboard on 0300 330 0630 (Open 10:00-22:00 every day) or chat to them online

If you find you are feeling suicidal you should discuss it with a doctor as soon as possible. If you feel in crisis right now, you can contact the Samaritans on 116 123 (freephone).
