Supportiv

Supportiv puts you in a small, anonymous text chat with peers facing the same issue, led by a trained moderator, any time of day.

You type what is on your mind and are matched within minutes to a small anonymous chat with others going through something similar, kept on track by a trained moderator. It is peer support, not therapy or crisis care, and you don't need to give your name or email. It is free if your employer, health plan or another organisation sponsors it; otherwise a 24-hour pass was listed at $24.

  • From $24 for a 24-hour pass, or free through some employers and health plans
