ACTIVATOR ROLE: You'll attend 1-3 concerts per month for 1 year in your local scene where you'll support 10 fans per show. If you sign up to lead a local team, you'll coordinate concert access and manage your team of volunteers.

SUPPORTER ROLE: You’ll be responsible for scheduling and managing weekly online calls with your Peer, for a year. Meetings can be from 30 minutes to however long you decide together. Consistency and proactivity are key to build momentum together and make your friendship grow throughout the year!

Anyone can join, regardless of your experience! We will train you on various modalities of peer support before you start, and we will support you through continuing learning opportunities, documentation, training events and staff support. You’ll learn new tools and get hands-on support to help you feel confident in your role.

It takes about 3 minutes to sign up, and you can do so by clicking any of the sign up buttons on this page. After this step, you’ll be invited to complete an onboarding training that is self-paced, takes roughly 3 hours, and to be completed within 10 days after signing up.

Absolutely. Peer support is a strong and fundamental type of intervention that is proven to be an effective complement to other therapeutic interventions.

Whether it’s by being a Replier or a Supporter, the encouragement we provide helped inspire people to choose life over suicide, to walk away from addictions, to start therapy, and to change their lives in radical and powerful ways. We'll train you, and you'll be an encourager that will make a real difference in other people’s lives.

It's hard to think of anything better than investing in people. There's a unique feeling you get when you know your words, presence and care just reached someone who needs it. It's deeply rewarding work, and if you ask us, it's absolutely worth it. It’s also an amazing way to use your life experiences and be to someone the person you might have needed yourself in the past.

REPLIERS: The team meetings are set by the volunteers who lead the meetings. You’ll choose which team to join at the end of your training.

SUPPORTERS: Our Staff gives particular attention to matching you with a Peer who will be in the same time zone as you. Then, it will be up to you and them to define a day and time for your weekly meetings, depending on your own schedules. It’s all about meeting every week, then it’s quite flexible!

You can do it from your phone, tablet or laptop. No special equipment required besides an online connection and a microphone, as both programs are organized around weekly meetings that take place on the messaging service Discord.

Using a camera is optional in both programs, although a powerful tool for added human connection when you interact with others.
