The Keepers
Meet the Keepers.
A Keeper is a trained peer supporter: one person, matched to you by hand, who stays. You don’t choose from a list. After your first Sit (your first video or audio call), you can ask for a different Keeper at no charge.
The profiles below are examples. Names and details are illustrative, written to show the kind of person you might sit with. Your real Keeper introduces themselves by email after the match.

Are you the person someone needs?
Keepers are trained mentors. The people others already turn to when something heavy lands. If people naturally come to you in their hard chapters, this might be yours.
