Trans Lifeline.
In short
Its site says only that credit may be possible case by case - get it in writing from your program first
150,000+ calls answered by a trans-led peer lineRemote · based in San Francisco — what the organization is, what its own site publishes about clinical training, and the questions to bring. Every fact below was read from a fetched page on the date above, and each one links the page it came from. Nothing here says what is available today — sites change; the organization answers that.
What it isWhat its site publishesThe questions to bringSources
What it is
The organization, from its own site.
A national trans-led peer-support hotline (877-565-8860) that has answered 150,000+ calls, alongside roughly $1.5 million in microgrants, a resource library, and the #SafeHotlines advocacy campaign. Fully remote, based in San Francisco.
Its site: translifeline.org.
What its site publishes about training
What was found, and what was not.
Volunteers complete a 36-hour self-guided training. On clinical-hours credit its site commits to nothing: “Depending on your program’s specific requirements, it may be possible,” case by case. Treat it as peer-support volunteering that MIGHT credit, confirmed in writing by both your program and the organization before you count a single hour.
Where a question about roles belongs: its careers page.
Before you write to anyone
The three questions that protect your hours.
A trainee cannot count hours from a private practice or a professional corporation — § 4980.43.3 draws that line, and the trainee rules page walks all seven of the rules that decide whether a placement counts. A registered associate has a wider map; both start from the same three questions: who signs the supervision paperwork and on what schedule, which settings the hours would come from, and — for a trainee — whether your program’s site agreement exists yet, because § 4980.42 puts that agreement on your school, not on you.
The whole search method — whose job the search is, the order that saves cycles, and the paper trail to keep — is on the how-to-find-a-practicum-site page. This profile is one shelf of it; the full Bay Area shelves are the practicum-sites directory and the associate-employers directory.

The statutes the questions come from
This profile records what the organization’s own site published on the read date, and nothing else. It is not a statement about today, it is not an endorsement, and it is not legal advice. Sites change; the links above are where to check.
