Join the Movement. Be an OTR Listens Volunteer!

OTR Listens is a safe, anonymous chat platform for emotional support, manned by trained volunteers.

The journey in mental wellness begins with you - the moment you decide to take personal responsibility for your own mental health, supported on this journey by an ecosystem of friends and family, co-workers and peers. We wish to empower our volunteers on your own mental wellness journey, with the capacity to help others as well. No one is alone on this journey.

Join us. You can make a difference!
