Trans Youth Emergency Project - Campaign for Southern Equality Skip to primary navigation ➡️ Join Monthly Support Group ➡️ National Legal Landscape ➡️ Other Resources or Actions ➡️ State Law and Local Resources ➡️ Documenting the Crisis Accessing best-practice gender-affirming care for transgender youth is more challenging than ever: 27 states have passed cruel laws banning or restricting care, the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld these bans in the Skrmetti v.

L. W. case, and the Trump Administration has pursued a relentless campaign attacking access.

As a result, thousands of transgender youth and their families are being forced to identify new healthcare providers, travel extreme distances, and take on significant expenses just to get the care they need. The Trans Youth Emergency Project (TYEP) is here to help families navigate this complex and exhausting maze, offering logistical and financial support.

Our team provides 1-on-1 custom patient navigation services to unimpacted providers and supports families of transgender youth with travel grants. At this time TYEP services are available to: A parent or legal guardian of a transgender person under the age of 18 whose access to healthcare has been impacted by a restriction on gender-affirming care.

Transgender people who are 18 years old if they live in Alabama or have lost care due to the Executive Order. Donate to Help Trans Youth Access Healthcare Access to lifesaving healthcare for transgender youth is being attacked at the state and federal level, leaving families in need of support. The Trans Youth Emergency Project is here to help.

Make a donation now to support trans youth and their families. How TYEP Supports Families We help families understand their options for continuing care with providers that are not impacted by state or federal restrictions, including referrals to medical providers in the regional network CSE has worked to coordinate. Families of trans youth can receive travel grants of $500 to help pay for travel expenses.

These travel grants are renewable four times per year. Families living in states without bans who are forced to relocate their care are eligible for one-time travel grants. We operate as an info hub about anti-trans healthcare restrictions, networking with community partners, families, and providers.
