How to get started
Are you interested in running a Not-for-Profit in your community? Would you like to own a license to provide Emotional Support to over 100,000 people each year? We are expanding our vision by providing Licenses to Not-for-Profits across Canada and the USA. The license will allow Local Not-for-Profits to use our brand and know-how in a defined geographical area. We do the work, you promote the services.
We're passionate about helping others
We want to invite you to help others in your own community. We know you care, and we know that you want to make a change.

I always feel useful and satisfied when empathizing with people to make decisions easier for them. Assisting people to make decisions is not that difficult, it is only by helping them to verbalize their thought process. Therefore, only a good listener with strong empathy and a non-judgmental approach is needed.

I feel that the training should have spoken more about our role as chat responders and talked in more depth about how to behave if we felt someone is at risk

The videos were at times a bit long and it may be better if there were different activities to do while watching the videos to keep learners engaged.
