Transbefrienders offers a unique befriending service for individuals in Singapore who are experiencing gender dysphoria  or questioning their gender identity, including those considering transitioning or de-transitioning.

​

Following an initial 1-1 conversation at our office with a case manager to better understand your experiences, current circumstances, and support needs. Based on this, we will match you with a trained befriender who will provide empathetic peer support, a safe and non-judgemental space to talk, and guidance towards relevant community resources. Where additional support is needed, we will also connect you with our partner organisations for professional counselling or other specialised services, ensuring you receive the support that is most appropriate for your situation.

​

The befriending process typically lasts for three months but can be extended to six months. Conversations take place primarily over the Telegram app, but meet-ups can also be hosted at the Lavender Nest, our office and home in Singapore.

​

We encourage you to step out of your comfort zone and socialise within a safe, supportive and affirming environment. Our services are exclusively available to individuals in Singapore, ensuring localised and culturally relevant support to the needs of our community. 

 

Your privacy is of utmost importance. ​All information will be treated with confidentiality. Confidentiality will only be breached with your consent when making referrals to professional support services such as counsellors, or without consent where we are required to protect your safety or the safety of others, or where we are legally obligated to do so.
