By My Side is a text-based, emotional support platform created by a group of people who sincerely cares about mental health and giving back. We would like to provide a 24/7, non-judgmental space to internet users around the world. Everyone can have the opportunity to get access to our free emotional support services.

 

We are here to spread the gift of compassion. We would like to encourage people to express their emotions in a safe way and discover new perspectives on their situations. As compassionate listeners, we not only support others, but we also develop a mindset of self-compassion and self-awareness. With these qualities, we can better offer compassion to others.

 

As a listener, you will provide emotional support to people in need. If you join us, you will receive free training and interact with our supportive community of compassionate volunteers and staff. This is a place for growth and improvement with guidance from our trained mentors.

 

If you are an adult who is fluent in English and you have a passion for community service, this is the perfect place for you. To start, we recommend committing to 2 or more hours per week. You will need a laptop or desktop computer (recommended), a smartphone, or a tablet.
