I'm in Crisis and I need support now

Try reaching out to our friends at the Trans Lifeline, a trans staffed crisis and warm line available 24/7 in the US and Canada. Their number is (877) 565-8860. You can also look at our list of other resources here.

I'm looking for information about a support group:

Information about groups can be found on our website. Check out our "About Our Groups" page for group guidelines and a general idea of what you can expect when attending. Our calendar lists all public meetings with details such as whether it’s a group for trans and nonbinary folks only, or for trans and allies. Cancellations are also included in the calendar listings here: Support Groups

If you’re looking for information about the location of a particular group and it is not listed publicly, please email us at info@mainetransnet.org or go to our contact page.

I need a healthcare or mental health provider:

Our friends at Maine Family Planning maintain comprehensive databases of both surgical and non-surgical gender affirming health care and social service providers across the state, with insurance information including whether or not a provider accepts MaineCare, find them here: https://mainefamilyplanning.org/gender-affirming-healthcare/

I want to change my name or gender marker:

We've created a resource on changing your name or gender marker in Maine. Check it out here!

I’m researching a move to Maine:

Prior to relocating, your best bet is to connect to virtual community spaces to crowdsource connections -- the most active spaces are Facebook groups like Queer Exchange Maine, and we also have a Discord server where trans folks can ask for peer advice and connect with others who can offer their knowledge of local employers, housing, services, etc.

I’m working on a research project, study, or survey:

We’ll take a look at it and follow up with you IF we think we can work with you. We receive dozens of these requests annually and are not able to accommodate most. Specifically we are not able to assist with the design or implementation of projects conducted by undergraduate or graduate students, for profit institutions, or projects primarily related to business or marketing.

I’m a journalist working on a story:

Please email our Executive Co-Director, Bre Danvers-Kidman. Please note that journalists are not welcome at our support groups, in order to ensure the privacy of our community members.
