  • About Us

    THRIVE Lifeline (THRIVE) is a free text-based crisis line. Trans-led and 100% volunteer-operated, our volunteers identify as LGBTQ2S+ (90%), Female and Nonbinary (80%), Persons of Color (71%), and people living with disabilities / neurodiversity (54%). As people with marginalized identities, we personally understand the impacts of marginalization on wellbeing and barriers to livelihood. THRIVE formed as a grassroots response to the COVID-19 pandemic, during a particularly tumultuous time that included racist acts; police brutality, protests, removal of healthcare protections for transgender people, and an increased lack of access to community. 

    Our Mission

    THRIVE Lifeline's mission is to end stigma for people with marginalized identities and close gaps in access to crisis intervention, validation, and resources through whole-human support.

    We fulfill our mission by:

    • Providing texters with free 24/7 text-based hotline support by extensively trained, non-judgmental Crisis Responders who share underrepresented identities and backgrounds.
    • Reducing suicide risk through literature-based deescalation practices and by connecting texters with life-saving and life-affirming resources.
    • Using anonymized data to train leaders and advocate for representation of historically underserved communities, leading to more inclusive educational and professional spaces.
