How it works
Three steps, and you’re never on your own with it.
Tell us what’s happening
In your own words, as much or as little as you like. A gentle guide helps you cover what matters.
Say what would help
Someone to talk to, advice from people who’ve been there, money or housing help, a therapist or lawyer. Over thirty kinds of help to choose from.
Support comes to you
People who understand are told straight away, you join circles of people living it, and get matched programmes and professionals. You can follow every request until it’s sorted.
Everything in one place
Not just people. Every kind of support.
From the first night to the day you’re helping someone else through it.
A support plan written for your situation
Practical next steps from your story: who to call, what to ask for, where to find it near you. Tick them off as you go.
Every kind of help, matched to your country
Professionals, government programmes, charities, helplines, products and free services for exactly what you’re facing.
Circles of people who’ve lived it
Placed automatically by situation: worldwide, in your language, and in your country once enough people are near.
Guides who came through
Members a few steps ahead stay on, answer questions and leave notes of hope for whoever is just starting.
Any language, any hour
Translate any message with one tap, and see each member’s local time. Someone is always awake.
Gatherings, in your own time zone
Hosted, time-boxed conversations with gentle prompts, and a weekly check-in timed for most members’ evening. Reminders, calendar invites and a recap afterwards.
A support buddy
One person in the same situation, awake at similar hours and sharing a language, who checks in with you each week. Both say yes first; either can end it kindly.
A private wellbeing journal
A ten-second daily check-in. Over weeks it shows the shape of your days, so you can see how far you’ve come.
A safety plan for harder days
Built on the structure crisis counsellors use: warning signs, what helps, who to call, and your reasons to keep going. Printable and private.
Practical help from our sister sites
Need money, goods or a hand right now? Ask the world on HelpBLESS. Lost your income? WUUUH turns it into a ranked plan for benefits, deadlines and runway.
Private, gentle, and safe
Choose any name. Your story stays yours; circles see a short summary. Crisis lines appear the moment someone may be at risk, and every message can be reported.
When the world is asleep
Nights are when it’s hardest. So we kept the lights on.
Somewhere, someone is awake too. These are the places to find them, and a little calm.
Circles
A circle for what you’re facing.
And if yours isn’t here yet, your story starts it.
Questions
Gentle answers.
Is it really free?+
Yes. Sharing your story, your plan, circles, gatherings, a buddy and matched help are free for everyone. SupportMeet is kept going by supporters who choose to give, and by professionals and services who pay to be featured. Featured listings are always labelled.
Who can see my story?+
You choose a name; it does not have to be your real one. Members of your circles see a short, de-identified summary. Your full text stays private unless you choose to share it. Your email is never shown.
How is my support chosen?+
Your story is read by our matching engine, which understands the situations it describes, where you are in it, where you live and what would help. It writes your plan, finds help in your country and places you in the right circles.
What if I’m in crisis?+
If you might harm yourself or are in danger, please call your local emergency number now. SupportMeet shows crisis lines for your country whenever a story or message suggests someone is at risk, and alerts our team.
Can I be in more than one circle?+
Yes. Life rarely hands us one thing at a time. A story can place you in several circles, and every update can add more as your life changes.
I’m a therapist, charity or service. Can I be listed?+
Yes. Charities, government services and free offers are listed free. Professionals and businesses can list free and choose to be featured. Every listing is reviewed by a person.
You don’t have to carry this alone.
It takes a few minutes. Your support will be waiting.
