From first visit to verified member in under two minutes. No real name, no referral, no cost. Here is exactly how HMS HearMeSafe works.
The journey
Pick any name — your real name is never required and never stored. HMS only knows your pseudonym, your email (for account recovery only), and your posts.
Browse 12+ topic channels — from mental health and grief to identity and financial stress. You can use our 3-question guided tool if you are not sure where to start.
Write as your pseudonym or go fully anonymous with a single toggle. Your post goes live after a quick automated moderation check. No-one knows who you are.
React, comment, and support other members. When you are ready, book a free first session with an HMS Verified professional directly through the platform.
What makes HMS different
Your email is never shown. Anonymous posts show only "Anonymous" — no pseudonym, no trace.
No grief is too small, no struggle too ordinary. All of it belongs here equally.
Credential-checked. Not just anyone with a LinkedIn.
We do not sell your data. We do not show ads. This space is sacred.
Human moderators + automated tools. Reports reviewed within hours.
The crisis line is visible on every single page. Always free.
Your privacy, in plain English
Yes, completely. All community features — posting, commenting, reacting, self-tests, crisis access — are permanently free. Professional consultations are priced by the individual professional; many offer free first sessions.
No. If you post anonymously, only "Anonymous" appears. If you post as your pseudonym, only your chosen pseudonym appears. Your real name and email are never accessible to other members.
Licensed therapists, counsellors, psychologists, psychiatrists, and social workers who have passed our credential verification process. We check their registration numbers against governing bodies.
Our moderation team is trained to identify crisis language. Crisis posts are flagged immediately, the member receives access to crisis resources, and a moderator follows up within the hour.
Yes. Settings → Delete account. All your posts are permanently deleted within 24 hours. We do not retain your data.
English is our native language. You can translate any page using the Translate button in the navigation bar, which uses Google Translate.
Join in 90 seconds. No real name. No cost. No judgement.
