Trans+ people are facing a mental health crisis

Traditional mental health resources don’t address rising transphobia, hate crimes, drag bans, or long medical waitlists. Our community needs mental health resources from those who have lived trans+ experiences.

Evidence-based, community-led.

Our team of trans+ therapists have designed these 52 programmes using evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).

Evidence-Based Techniques

Every program is grounded in evidence-based therapeutic methods like CBT, ACT, and DBT.

Built for trans lives, by those who have led trans lives.

Our team of trans+ psychotherapists have come together to create this library to offer meaningful and affirming mental health support, based on survey responses from over 2,400 global trans participants.

“Our findings contribute to the growing body of evidence that the mental health challenges faced by trans+ individuals are deeply rooted in systemic transphobia. The report underscores the urgent need to improve affirming healthcare while advocating for broader social justice reforms, inclusive policies, and comprehensive education aimed at dismantling prejudice and building environments where trans+ individuals can thrive.”

“I’ve been using the app for a week and I’m still fascinated with how insightful the advice is. It’s become part of my morning routine and then I can incorporate the recommendations into my day. Having a proactive approach during an unsettled time is helping my resilience while I wait for NHS services.”

"I am so impressed with this app. Please dont ever change it. Im trans, have experienced a lot of negative blowback from transitioning. The free options in this app have been super helpful alongside other psychotherapy interventions I'm getting. Please continue to create free content for LGBTQ+ people to use, I'm sure it saves lives!"

Are these programmes a replacement for professional therapy

No, the Trans Therapy Library is designed to provide mental health support, but it is not a substitute for professional therapy. If you’re in crisis or need immediate help, we encourage you to seek support from a mental health professional or contact a crisis helpline.

How do I get started with the Trans Therapy Library?

Simply download the Voda app from the App Store or Google Play, sign up for free, and explore the Trans Therapy Library. You’ll have access to all 52 programmes and can start your mental health journey at your own pace.

We’d love to hear your thoughts! You can provide feedback directly through the Voda app, or contact us at feedback@voda.co. Your input helps us continue improving the library to better serve the trans+ community.

What should I do if I’m experiencing a mental health crisis?

Voda is not suitable for use in a crisis. If you’re experiencing a mental health crisis, we recommend seeking immediate help from a professional. You can also find crisis helplines directly within the Voda app for quick access to support.

I'd like to support initiatives like this. How can I help?

You can share the resource by spreading the word about the Library by sharing it with your network on social media or within your community. You can also send in a tip to support us which helps us continue funding free resources to those who need them.
