The Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender (GLBT) National Help Center is pleased to announce the immediate launch of the Trans Teens Online Talk Group.
This online chat group is available each Wednesday from 7-9pm, eastern time at
The GLBT National Help Center provides vital peer-support, community connections and resource information to people with questions regarding sexual orientation and/or gender identity. 2016 marks our 20th anniversary of service. Utilizing a diverse group of GLBT volunteers, we operate two national hotlines, the GLBT National Hotline and the GLBT National Youth Talkline, as well as a volunteer one-to-one online chat, that helps both youth and adults with coming-out issues, safer-sex information, school bullying, family concerns, relationship problems and a lot more. We also maintain the largest collection of resources for the GLBT community in the United States, with 15,000 local resources for cities and towns across the country.
We are the oldest and most comprehensive national organization of its type and scope in the U.S., providing this critically needed service regardless of age or geographic location. The people who turn to us for help often live in rural and conservative parts of the country and are frequently feeling severely isolated, closeted and despairing, with literally no one else safe to talk to.
In addition, we have now added the Trans Teens Online Talk Group to the services that we provide. This online chat group is moderated by a trained member of the transgender community. Training for all of our volunteers consists of a combination of an online training course, an in-person one-on-one training class, and a series of supervised shifts. The goal of the chat group is to provide a safe place for trans youth ages 12 thru 19 to talk with each other, discussing concerns and exchanging ideas, to help end the isolation that many of these youth often struggle with. The group is not, however, a dating site, and the exchange of personal contact information will not be permitted. This also helps to ensure the safety and confidentiality of the youth in the group.
