What this is (and isn’t)

We Need Us isn’t therapy, and it’s not social media.
It’s a place to connect with people who understand, reflect privately, and find support at your own pace.

How it Works

Sign Up

Sign up and share what you’re comfortable with — your struggles, interests, and an optional short profile.

Get Matched

Based on what you share, we help you discover communities and people with similar experiences.

Explore and Engage

Discover other people’s experiences, share your own when you’re ready, and connect for real support.

Questions? We’re here for you

Wondering how to get started or connect? Here’s everything you need to know about joining, finding support, and making a difference in our community.

Can my data be seen by others?

Only content you post can be seen by others. Your data is stored securely and is not analyzed or sold. Your anonimity is important to us.

Is everything really free?

Yes. All features are free to use.

Can I support others here?

Absolutely. You can offer encouragement, listen, or help build communities.

Is this a replacement for therapy?

No. We Need Us is a peer support platform and self-reflection space. It’s not a substitute for professional mental health care, but it can be a meaningful complement for connection and support.

What if I want private help?

You can connect privately through direct messages and video, or chat with Rae whenever you want a confidential, judgment-free space.

Let’s connect and support each other

Reach out anytime. Whether you need a listening ear, resources, or just want to say hello, we’re always ready to help.
