In the wake of Executive Orders reversing gains made in gender-affirming care, removing legal protections, and eliminating language, funding, and data related to gender-identity The Advocate has published THIS ARTICLE highlighting ways to support trans youth and their families.

The article provides helpful information, including the following recommendations for where trans youth and their families can turn for support:

• Finding affirming therapists: Inclusive Therapists and the National Queer & Trans Therapists of Color Network
• Crisis services that don’t involve police: Trans Lifeline (US: 1-877-565-8860) and Thrive Lifeline
• Support groups for parents and families: PFLAG
• Legal and advocacy organizations: ACLU, Gender Justice, Advocates for Trans Equality
• Suicide prevention and mental health resources: The Trevor Project (1-866-488-7386)
