WHAT WE DO
Life doesn’t wait for appointments. You shouldn’t have to either.
WHO ARE WE?
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.
But we’re not just about one-on-one counseling. Our platform also serves as an invaluable resource hub, featuring informative articles, exercises, and meditative videos designed to help users understand and manage various mental health conditions, from depression and anxiety to PTSD and trauma.
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 as salaried supervisors, 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.
