The HSE has announced a new expanded partnership with Togetherall, a free online peer-to-peer mental health support community where people aged 16 to 30 can connect with others who understand what they’re going through. Launched by Minister for Mental Health, Mary Butler, TD, the initiative builds on the proven success of Togetherall’s work with third-level students in Ireland, which is also supported by the HSE. The service aims to increase access to mental health support for young people who may not otherwise engage with traditional services.
Togetherall is a 24/7 anonymous online community that is clinically moderated by registered mental health professionals. It offers a safe, non-judgmental space for people to share experiences, connect with others, and access peer support. The community is available day and night, providing this safe space to people who are experiencing issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, loneliness and isolation.
Togetherall provides a range of supports designed to meet people where they are:
- Peer-to-peer community – A safe, anonymous online space where members can give and receive support. Users can share thoughts and feelings through writing or digital art, participate in chat groups, or join role-based subgroups with others who are facing shared challenges. Anonymity helps facilitate access.
- 24/7 clinical moderation – The platform is moderated around the clock by registered mental health professionals. All content is reviewed using a combination of clinical expertise and technology to ensure safety.
- Self-guided courses – Members can access a range of text-based, self-directed courses focused on building coping skills and confidence.
- Local and additional resources – Togetherall includes links to local mental health resources, clinically validated self-assessments, a private journaling tool, and a wide range of mental health articles.
