Empathetic Strangers
Empathetic Strangers is a place for humans to connect with a peer one to one. This non-emergency service is designed for you to talk to someone who wants to be there for you.
ONE: ONE
You can talk about whatever is on your mind, share your joys and successes, or vent your frustrations or worries. It is your time with another human, and use it for what you need.

Soon, there will be a place for you to book specific times with listeners who fit your schedule and your needs.
In the spirit of caring for our community, please remember that the person on the call is a part of our community: they are not acting as a mental health professional or licensed clinician. Your call may be therapeutic, but it is not therapy. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis or are in need of immediate assistance, please contact one of the following resources immediately:
- CALL 911, or 988 (US Federal Crisis and Suicide Hotline)
- TEXT 741741 (for a Live Text Chat with a Crisis Counselor)
- Or go ONLINE at 988lifeline.org (for a Live Web Chat with a Crisis Counselor)
