Peer-to-peer wellbeing support for students

TalkCampus is a peer-to-peer mental wellbeing support platform designed specifically for students aged 16+, offering 24/7 access to a global community in over 26 languages. It empowers students to connect, share, and support each other in a safe, anonymous, and clinically moderated environment.

The platform enables real-time peer connection, helping students manage early-stage wellbeing concerns such as loneliness, anxiety, and stress, before these issues escalate.

Meeting students where they are

TalkCampus meets students where they are - on their phones, in their language, and on their terms. It’s a living community of peers, trained supporters, and real-time clinical professionals who keep the space safe and supportive.

Trusted by over 285 universities globally, Talk Campus combines peer support with clinical safeguarding, machine learning-driven risk detection, and tailored escalation protocols.

Tackling a growing crisis

43% of students saying their mental health has worsened1, and 25% are not completing their degrees due to wellbeing issues2, this joint solution aims to improve retention, reduce isolation, and build a more supportive campus culture.
