Real Humans. Real Help. Real Time

Hey Peers can connect you with qualified individuals who have similar experiences and who meet the requirements you set for gender, age, and language. You can choose to meet with someone using voice-only, text chat or video call. All connections are made securely and confidentially using Hey Peers. When you request help, available Peer Supporters, who are certified or licensed, will be matched to you. You'll be able to review some information about them, including how they have been rated by others. You choose who you want to connect with and the way in which you would like to connect. The Peer Supporter will set up the connection (voice, text or video) at a mutually agreed to time. Sometimes your meeting will start right away, and sometimes you will have to wait for a bit until your Peer Supporter is ready to meet with you. Your meeting will be private, only you and the person you select will have access to it. You will be able to rate the Peer Supporter you meet with. Some Peer Supporters will offer free help, and some may ask you to pay a small amount for their time. You will know if there is a cost when you are selecting your Peer Supporter.

Hey Peers has a variety of peer support meetings to help and encourage you when you are dealing with a life challenge. On the Hey Peers home page you can search for meetings by topic by either typing in a topic or clicking on the arrow on the left to see a list of popular topics.
