Our CEO Alyssa Pollack sat down with TIME to discuss why we need peer support now more than ever. With loneliness now reaching epidemic levels and clinical support still not being widely available or affordable, Fello is offering something new—the option to get help from a real person that’s been there before 💛 “The idea is to provide a new type of support that you don’t get from going to a generic support group, perusing Reddit or Facebook groups, or meeting with a therapist.”  - Alyssa Pollack, CEO of Fello Read the full article by Jamie Ducharme at TIME to learn more about peer support.  #peersupport #fello #time #mentalhealth https://lnkd.in/eT7KAg72

Struggling with relationships, substance use, or parenting issues? Read this:  You’re not the problem. Your support system is broken. Challenges are a normal part of everyone’s life, meanwhile… 80% of phone calls to therapists go unanswered and the valuable lived experiences of others who have walked this path before you are hidden away collecting dust. The good news is: there’s another option. Our app is now live for beta testing! How does it work? Vetted and trained peers who have conquered life’s toughest challenges (we call them Fellos)... … connect with people like you who are experiencing those same challenges (we call you Finders) … in a safe, shame-free, virtual space to share stories, vent and validate, de-stigmatize, and support one another (we call this a check-in). It’s where helped people help people, and hard-won experience is shared. Get support that is available, approachable, accessible, and affordable.

We have a big problem. Over 20% of people in the U.S. have mental health challenges and 80% of phone calls to therapists go unanswered… Meanwhile the lived experiences of humanity are hidden away collecting dust. Fello proposes a different future for mental health support: Vetted and trained peers who have conquered life’s toughest challenges (we call them Fellos)... … connecting with others who are experiencing those same challenges (we call them Finders) … in a safe, shame-free, virtual space where they can share stories, vent and validate, de-stigmatize, and support one another (we call this a Check-in). Finders get support that is available, approachable, accessible, and affordable. Fellos are empowered to share, earn, and grow. It’s where helped people help people, and relevant, practical guidance is shared. Tag someone you know who would be a great Fello or Finder in the comments. #MentalHealth #Teamwork #Wellness
