Transgender Resources

The Tennessee Suicide Prevention Network (TSPN) is proud to announce the launch of our new Transgender Resource Guide, created to provide transgender people and their loved ones with resources and support in Tennessee to prevent suicide-related thoughts, behaviors, and deaths.

The LGBTQIA2S+ community has historically been at higher risk for suicide compared to the general population, with the transgender subgroup within that demographic being especially susceptible. TSPN wants to share widely that there are resources available to offer support.

Our Transgender Resource Guide was created in consultation with transgender and LGBTQIA2S+ community organizations across Tennessee to provide transgender people and their loved ones with resources and support in Tennessee to prevent suicide, self-harm, and other-directed violence within this community. This guide is the first of its kind in Tennessee (as far as we are aware) and was created with care to address the unique challenges faced by transgender people while empowering them with tools to navigate difficult times.

The guide contains resources for:

• counseling and mental health services
• peer support and support groups
• helplines and counseling lines
• emergency housing and access to residential options
• legal, healthcare, and civil rights
• access to medical care
• anti-violence and other safety concerns

TSPN’s mission continues to center around preventing suicide-related thoughts, behaviors, and deaths by sharing prevention education widely. Together, we can create an environment where individuals feel safe, supported, and valued. Your lives matter.
