Emotional support at your fingertips.
The HearMe app provides a safe space for you to chat with a real person with shared lived experience who is trained to offer emotional support the moment you need it. Our emotions don't run on schedules. That's why a HearMe Listener will always be standing by, 24/7. Follow the steps below to get started. Once you've signed in and subscribed, you'll be connected with a Listener in under 3 minutes, every time.

College is hard, HearMe can help.
Students using the app are directly supported by an expansive network of age-similar HearMe interns pursuing their Masters in Social Work (MSW). Choose from unique topics and issues that impact you or opt to “just talk”. This enables you to connect with trained peers who share lived experiences and challenges and can provide resources, empathy, and a sense of genuine connection. Simply check the "I'm a student box" when signing up to access your curated network of peer support.
