Connect to someone that understands
Welcome to our strange experiment: One stranger talking to another online, about what matters most to you.
HeyStranger,
You are not alone.
Burnout. Illness. Depression. Loss.
When you're in it, talking about it can feel hard
We let you talk with someone that is in the same boat
Someone that understands
That’s what HeyStranger is for.

"Some of my most meaningful conversations were with strangers. It can be so easy to talk to a stranger. HeyStranger was born from that simple truth."
— Joël, creator of the HeyStranger project
