If you need someone to talk to
Evervoice is a place for stories — but sometimes what comes up while telling them is heavier than a story can hold.
If you or someone you love is going through something difficult, the resources below connect you with people who are trained for exactly this. They are free, confidential, and available now.
You don't need to be in crisis to call. If something is sitting on your chest, that's reason enough.

A few honest things to say
Evervoice is not a replacement for professional support. Our AI is warm, but it is software. It cannot hold what a trained person can hold. If something heavy comes up, please reach out to one of the resources above or to a therapist, counsellor, or doctor you trust.
You can always pause or stop. Send /pause to the bot if you need a break. Cancel your subscription any time, no questions asked. The stories you've already captured are yours, exportable in full.
If a friend or family member is going through it, sometimes the best thing is just to call them and listen. The resources above can also help you figure out what to say.
This page is maintained with care but is not legal or medical advice. If you are in immediate danger in the United States or Canada, please call 911.
