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).

“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!"

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.
