Survivor Resources

We don’t just want to end conversion therapy in Birmingham. We want to support its survivors throughout the city.

If you are a survivor of conversion therapy in crisis, please make immediate use of the The Trevor Project’s TrevorLifeline (1-866-488-7386), a crisis hotline dedicated to LGBTQ youth. You deserve immediate assistance, and The Trevor Project provides digital services, TrevorChat and TrevorText, to ensure that you get it.

The importance of proper mental health care cannot be understated for survivors of conversion therapy. The Association of LGBTQ Psychiatrists has a database through which you can identify affirming mental health professionals in your area.

Additionally, many survivors of conversion therapy find refuge and support in faith communities. The GALIP Foundation has a listing through which you can determine affirming Christian congregations nearby. 

Finally, the Magic City Acceptance Center (MCAC) provides a local space of support for LGBTQ people. MCAC conducts several youth initiatives and peer groups where you can find support and guidance.
