LonePack Buddy - A mental health peer support app description

About LonePack Buddy:

Whether you need someone to talk to, share opinions in a safe space, or want anonymous emotional support - LonePack Buddy’s here for you. The app gives you a platform to speak anything on your mind, whenever you feel stressed, worried, sad, or lonely.

Our listeners aka your Buddies on this app are trained volunteers who can build healthy conversations, support you through anxieties and help you cope up with your mental stress and inner fears. While they’re not an equivalent of fully-qualified therapists or professionals, they’re guided to listen to you as a friend and help boost your mood with positivity.

These volunteers have successfully completed our specially designed training course developed in collaboration with our partners - Pragya Lodha, Programme Director, The MINDS Foundation, Mumbai.
