Mental support

[Rakefet Cohen Ben-Arye]

Hi, I have seen there is a demand for mental support in the Effective Altruism community.

First, I’m sad to see that.

Second, this is not surprising, knowing that altruists are a sensitive kind of people.

I happened to be a Psychology graduate.

If you or anyone else from Effective Altruism is struggling, please contact me (for free, of course). ♥

I’m not a clinical psychologist (I’m currently a social psychology MA student) but I started up my studies because I love people and want to help them. So at least I can listen (on Skype /​ Whatsapp).

I encourage people (with or without social sciences background) to offer their help too.

If you are willing to listen, please leave your Skype address in the comments below.

Don’t stay alone!

Why for free?

Because people who need help the most often don’t have the money?

There is probably a nontrivial number of people who do not seek support due to the presence of a fee, even if they can theoretically afford it (see trivial inconveniences). Unfortunately, I’ve seen this happen in practice.
