What happens next
You'll get a confirmation email as soon as your request comes in, so you know we've got it.
We aim to match you within 24-48 hours, based on your platform, your games and when you're free.
Your volunteer reaches out to say hi. No script, no pressure to talk. Just a game and someone who shows up.
Yes. GamerReach is always free for people seeking support. Donors and partners cover the costs so you never have to.
No. Some people want to talk, and some just want to play with someone who gets it. Both are welcome, and you set the pace.
Fellow gamers who've completed Mental Health First Aid certification. They're trained to listen and to point you toward more help when it's needed. They aren't therapists, and they don't give diagnoses or treatment.
No. GamerReach is peer support through play. If you're in crisis or need someone right now, call or text 988 any time.
Just tell your volunteer or reply to any of our emails. Our referral bridge connects you to a licensed therapist with a warm introduction, not a cold list of numbers.
Add it in the notes box on the form, or pick "Other." We'll still do our best to find someone who plays it.
Only to match you with a volunteer and follow up with you. We ask for as little as we can. A first name or gamertag and an email are all that's required.
In crisis right now? GamerReach isn't a crisis line. Call or text 988 anytime, day or night.
