You don’t need to be a therapist to help someone feel less alone.
If you're someone who cares deeply and knows how to listen, you already have what it takes to make a difference.
At VentNow, we’ll give you the tools and support to do just that with presence, empathy, and purpose.​
As a VentNow Listener, you’ll be there for people when they need someone most in moments of anxiety, loneliness, burnout, or overwhelm.
You’ll learn how to hold space with compassion, offer non-clinical emotional support, and remind others they’re not alone in what they’re feeling.
What it means to be a Listener
Becoming a Listener means showing up for others in moments that matter. You'll provide real-time emotional support through one-on-one conversations as people search for someone to talk to about anxiety, stress, grief, or simply a hard day.
​
You are not expected to give advice or solutions. Your role is to offer connection through deep, judgment-free listening supported by our structured emotional support training designed by professionals in mental health and coaching.
