Listen to the episode here.
If you’re in crisis and need someone to talk to, here are some resources (phone numbers are US specific):
- 988 is a national mental health crisis helpline.
- 741741 is a national crisis text line, reachable via text, online chat, or WhatsApp.
- Trans Lifeline is a trans peer support hotline.
- The Trevor Project offers round-the-clock phone and text support for queer and trans youth.
- The Veterans Crisis Line offers 24/7 crisis support for veterans and can be reached directly or via 988.
The rest of the visual companion will be up later this week!
