The death of Nex Benedict (they/them) was a result of transphobic violence from their peers and a lack of action from their school and hospital staff. Nex’s death highlights the ever-growing need of protection and support for trans youth. PRISM is here to be a pillar of support for anyone needing it. We will not stop moving towards a future that protects trans youth and their freedom. We see you, we celebrate you.

Our support line is open 10AM-10PM everyday. Call or text us at 414-336-7974

If the holiday season brings up complicated feelings, please know you’re not alone. The Prism Program warmline is open 10am-10pm daily, including the holidays, for peer support by and for the LGBTQ+ community. If you need a space to vent, grieve, reflect, or just need some company, reach out!

This International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we lift up trans and nonbinary folks living with disabilities. Trans people experience higher rates of disability than non-trans people. As we mark this international day of recognition, we honor the intersections, challenges, and persistence of trans and nonbinary people living with disabilities.
