We’re all human. Be kindly.

We believe in the power of humans connecting with humans.

Society is facing an existential crisis of mental health, loneliness and isolation stemming from our devotion to technology as the answer to all of our problems. Ironically, most attempts to address this truly human issue rely on even more technology, hoping an app or bot can be the answer. 

We are going in a different direction.

We believe authentic human connection for all kinds of humans is the way to make a positive impact on all of humankind.

We’re on a mission to ensure that everyone knows they have support from real people with genuine empathy in whatever they may be facing. Because we believe the answer to feeling heard and understood is simple: Humans connecting with other humans is a game-changer. 

We hope you’ll join us as we redefine what it means to be truly connected in today’s culture of technology.

Kindly,
Human
