The HearMe platform delivers 24/7/365 on-demand peer support to members. Our mission is inclusive by design allowing us to support a diversity of needs and populations.
Immediate 1:1 chats
Members can connect with a Listener in minutes for one-on-one real-time support via our dedicated mobile or web app.
Diverse Listener Base
The HearMe community encompasses a diverse group of peers so that every member gets matched with a Listener with shared lived experience.
Robust Training
Every HearMe Listener goes through our Foundations in Responsive Support Training (FIRST) developed by licensed mental health professionals. All Listeners have access to ongoing and advanced training opportunities.
Evidence-Backed Methodology
HearMe is built on the power of peer support—the evidence-based practice where people with shared lived experiences provide knowledge, emotional, social or practical help to each other. It has been proven to alleviate mental health symptoms, reduce in-patient admission rates and increase community tenure, and decrease substance abuse and depression.
Proven Results
Conversations with a HearMe Listener foster a sense of connection, combat loneliness, stress and burnout, and allow for an immediate outlet during times of stress, which has been proven to reduce escalation into more serious health issues.
Research by Stanford, Northwell and Penn Staterevealed HearMe conversations result in a significant increase in moodby approximately 57%.
Quality Assurance & HIPAA Compliant
Our Community Directors and Program Administrators continually monitor Listener feedback and perform chat audits to ensure that our members are always being matched with the highest quality listener.
All HearMe data is encrypted and HIPAA-compliant.
