We are excited that you have decided to become a Peer Listener! The next step is to provide you with basic training to prepare you for your first conversation. The 30-minute training will include instruction to sharpen your active listening skills, how to use the app, and reporting a conversation.
Let’s get started. Please click here to begin the training. Make sure you watch ALL of the video, which includes the quiz and mock chat (Part 4).
If for some reason you miss or prematurely close out of training, please click here to complete the quiz and mock chat.
Once you have completed all training, HearMe will email you instructions within 24-72 hours to set up your app as a Listener. If you don’t see it, please check your spam folder or contact us.
Q. I’m set up, but where do I enter my availability?
1. Let’s get your App set up. To access your account and to get started on the app, watch this short video.
If you prefer step-by-step instructions, click here.
NOTE: While in Settings, make sure to select “Topic Coverage” and uncheck the topics that don’t apply to you. If you don’t, you will receive chat requests for all topics.
2. Let’s get your Mobile Device set up. Please watch this second video to properly configure your phone to receive chat requests.
NOTE: Currently, there is no audible notification when a chat request is received. You must be monitoring your device during your scheduled time.
Once you’ve completed these steps, you should be ready to receive and accept chat requests.
