Resources for Survivors

If you identify as trans or non-binary and you are currently in an abusive relationship or have experienced trauma in your past, this section is for you. Included here are safety planning resources for people experiencing abuse, materials on healing from trauma, and information on healthy relationships/sexuality.

If you are in crisis, feeling suicidal, or in need of a safe and judgment-free place to talk, contact the TrevorLifeline. Call 1-866-488-7386.

Safety Planning: A Guide for Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming Individuals who are Experiencing Intimate Partner Violence

This guide provides an overview of intimate partner violence and safety planning for transgender and gender non-conforming individuals, including step-by-step information on laying the groundwork, staying safe at home, packing an emergency bag, financial planning, safe havens, staying safe in a new home, job and public safety, orders of protection, protecting children and pets, and emotional support.

Healing from Trauma

Check out FORGE's Trans Survivors blog and Facebook page, which offer support to survivors and their loved ones throughout the healing process.

Healthy Relationships

Trans/GNC Caring Relationships, Healthy You Card

The goal of this safety card is to be both a survivor-centered resource and a useful conversation starter for health care providers who are doing universal education around healthy relationships and assessing for violence specifically with transgender, genderqueer, or gender nonconforming people or in LGBTQ health settings.

Safer Sex for Trans Bodies

This is a safer sex guide for trans and gender expansive people and their partners that seeks to address the need for relatable and respectful resources on safer sex. It explores terms, boundaries/consent, safer sex tools, and sexuality during and after transitioning.
