What We Do
Here at On Call Hope™, we serve as a lifeline for individuals in need of immediate and reliable mental health support. Our platform connects users with a network of professional therapists and dedicated intern therapists, available around the clock to lend an ear, provide guidance, and offer hope.
We cater to a diverse audience, including K-12 students, veterans, newlyweds, and small business employees. Through our app, we aim to make the process of seeking help as straightforward as possible – users can simply fill out a brief questionnaire to be matched with a compatible therapist based on their specific needs.
Moreover, we’re dedicated to nurturing the next generation of therapists. We offer a paid internship program, the Hope Helper Internship Program, for aspiring therapists to complete their licensure requirements while gaining invaluable real-world experience. Once licensed, these therapists are invited back to supervise the interns, fostering a community of continuous growth and learning.
In essence, On Call Hope™ is not just an app, but a beacon of light in times of darkness – a space where therapy seekers can find hope, and aspiring therapists can hone their skills and fulfill their passion for helping others.
