Yes. You don't need to share your name or any identifying information unless you choose to, and Ears won't ask for it. Likewise, the Ear you're speaking with won't share their own identifying information.

We also require our Ears and prospective members to keep information about their membership/application private.

No. Conversations are confidential except in situations where there is an immediate concern for someone's safety.

Our Ears are additionally required to keep details about calls on the line within the organization.

Absolutely! You don't need to have everything figured out before contacting us. We can simply start with what's been on your mind and work together from there.

Every conversation is different because every caller is different. When you reach out, an Ear will invite you to share whatever is on your mind. There's no script, no pressure, and no expectation that you have to stay longer than you want to. You can talk about as much or as little as you'd like, and the Ear's role is to listen with empathy, ask questions, and support you without judgment.

If texting, please keep your tab open to prevent disconnecting!

Our goal is to listen and support you. As every caller's situation is different, we are unable to give advice. However, we may help you think through options or connect you with resources if that's something you'd like.
