It’s been a year filled with challenges both for TENI and for the Irish trans community, so this holiday season is a great opportunity to try to restore our mental and physical strength. Most of us at TENI will be taking days off toward the end of December and our office will be closed from 19 December to 6 January. We decided to take this break to rest and rejuvenate ourselves. This will help us all come back with even greater motivation to continue to serve our community.

During this period, we will not be able to reply to your messages or answer the phone. If you have any questions while we’re out, feel free to browse our website.

If you are struggling or in an emergency situation you can free-phone Pieta House on 1800 247247 or by texting HELP to 51444. Alternatively, you can call the Samaritans on 116 123 or speak to them by live chat through their website www.samaritans.org.

Check out our mental health guide for tips and a list of resources and services in the resources section of our website: https://teni.ie/reports/

We’ll be back up to speed on January 9th and will take care of any outstanding issues then.

We wish you happy holidays and may the New Year find us all healthier and safer,

The TENI Team
