You don’t have to do this alone.

FAQs

Yes, your privacy is very important to us. All conversations with your peer volunteer are kept confidential, and your personal information will never be shared without your permission—except in rare cases where safety is a concern (such as risk of harm to yourself or others). Our volunteers are trained to follow ethical guidelines, including confidentiality, boundaries, and respect. We want you to feel safe and supported every step of the way.

After you submit your request, we typically match you with a peer volunteer within 3–5 business days. Once matched, your volunteer will reach out to you directly to introduce themselves and schedule a time to connect. If there’s ever a delay, we’ll do our best to keep you informed. Thank you for your patience—we want to make sure you’re matched with the right person.
