WHY WE EXIST The barriers are real. So is our response.Many LGBTQIA+ people face significant obstacles from a young age — family rejection, discrimination, difficulty securing housing and stable employment. As a result, the LGBTQIA+ community experiences a 20–30% higher rate of substance use disorders than the general population, alongside disproportionately high rates of mental health challenges, housing instability, and unmet healthcare needs. Treatment barriers compound the problem: lack of insurance, providers who are not affirming, group therapy that does not feel safe, and facilities that do not respect gender identity. These are not inconveniences — they can retraumatize someone already struggling and push them further from the help they need. Transpire Help was created to close that gap. We believe that affirmation is not a luxury — it is a requirement for effective care. And that no LGBTQIA+ person should be turned away from recovery, housing, or community because of who they are or what they can afford. “For these reasons and so much more, Transpire Help was created to provide affirming support for the LGBTQIA+ community in recovery.” |
