Buddy Help: Free emotional support

Free emotional support for those moments when you just need somebody to talk to.

We’ve all been there. We’ve all had moments where we didn’t feel our best. Sometimes what we really need in these situations, is just somebody to talk to, - somebody who cares, somebody who won’t judge, and will listen without bias. This is not always possible to find in our own circles of family and friends. BuddyHelp will connect you to trained active listeners - compassionate, caring volunteers who will listen, support, and be there for you. Our methods are peer-reviewed and evidence-backed.

Get Help in 3 Simple Steps

The most straight-forward and intuitive experience you can imagine. You don’t want yet-another platform to sign up to, let alone yet-another-app to install. All you need to do is press chat - that’s it! We work with the tools you already have. And our active listeners receive your message anonymously on their messenger of choice - Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp or Telegram. We built this to be completely frictionless, and allow for rapid scaling - in order to support as many people as possible, and be there when the world needs us the most.

1. Start a chat
2. Get matched with a listener
3. Talk to your listener
