HearMe is a paid app ($7.99/month) that connects people with trained listeners for emotional support. The app lets you chat anonymously about anything on your mind - like work stress, health, parenting, or identity issues. Listeners are trained volunteers and social work students who provide judgment-free support. Your conversations are private and encrypted. You must be 18 or older to use HearMe. The app is not for crisis situations - if you're having thoughts of suicide or self-harm, call 988 instead. The FAQ page also lists many other mental health resources like the 988 Crisis Lifeline, therapy directories, LGBTQ+ support groups, and hotlines for different needs. HearMe offers internships and is looking for new volunteer listeners who complete their training program. Technical support is available through the app.
