How are post-secondary students feeling about Good2Talk?

Very helpful conversation, first time using the service after a lot of issues. I appreciate you making yourself available overnight for people! It can feel shameful/intimidating to reach out so the positive/affirming/kind approach helped!
I was so thankful to be heard and have my feelings acknowledged. I wasn’t made to feel that my issue was silly and my emotions felt validated. That was reliving, this is my first interaction with a helpline where i felt better after, instead of feeling worse. Thank you 🙂
Exactly what I needed, exactly when I needed it.
You’re work doesn’t go unnoticed, thank you for supporting me during thought times.
Today could have been a really bad day. You helped me take an overwhelming feeling and cope with it. This bad moment didn’t ruin my whole day or week, all because I talked to you. To me, it was life changing.
The Crisis Responder was very helpful and listened to everything I said non-judgementally. I really appreciated his understanding and he shared some resources for me to look into. Thank you again!
Crisis Responder, thank you so much for your help and kind words. You were very understanding and nonjudgmental, and appreciated every second of our conversation.
Talking to you was very helpful and I said things I haven’t been able to share before and it meant a lot.
