HearMe

HearMe, an LGBTQ+ founded company, is an on-demand mental wellness app that allows you to text one-on-one with trained empathetic listeners to get things off your chest, be seen, heard, and validated. SAGE x HearMe is compassionate support at your fingertips.

The app provides a safe and inclusive space to talk with a real person when you’re feeling lonely, stressed, anxious or just need someone to talk with about your day. Choose from a number of topics such as: I Just Want to Talk; Friends, Family and Relationships; Emotional Support; and Physical Health and Mental Well-being. There is no wait or scheduling – receive instantaneous support the moment you need it. HearMe is always confidential and anonymous. Empathetic listeners are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

In partnership with SAGE, HearMe offers exclusive, round-the-clock access to culturally competent, empathetic LGBTQ+ and allied listeners who understand your life experiences. Our listeners are trained in LGBTQ+ and aging issues. They’re here to provide you with the support, understanding, and connection you deserve.

Conversations with a HearMe Listener can foster a sense of connection and understanding; combat loneliness, anxiety, depression, and burnout; and provide an immediate outlet during times of stress, which has been proven to reduce escalation into more serious health issues. We believe that mental health and wellness support shouldn’t be complicated. HearMe is here for you. Be yourself. We’ll listen.
