Resources for Families of Trans Youth in Alabama

A ban on gender-affirming care is in effect in Alabama. The 2022 law, SB184, bans best-practice healthcare for people under the age of 19, making hormone therapy, puberty-delaying medication, and surgery inaccessible in Alabama for any trans person until they turn 19. The law also imposes criminal felony penalties for providers who violate the law. The law is currently in effect.

Youth can still access mental health care, which is not restricted or banned by this law. Youth and their families may also travel to access care in other states where gender-affirming care has not been restricted. Prescriptions for gender-affirming medication can still legally be filled in Alabama, as the law does not govern pharmacies.

The Campaign for Southern Equality, the Magic City Acceptance Center and Prism United are working with partners across Alabama to provide resources and information to impacted families. Click here to learn more about the Trans Youth Emergency Project.

Digital Toolkit to Spread the Word

It is critical that we get the word out to families and young people about resources that are available, including support identifying in-state and out-of-state care and emergency funding. Thank you for helping to share information with your networks. Please use these templates to share information with your email lists, social media networks, and in-person community spaces.
