About us
Our journey to building online communities
Founded in 2012, TalkLife is an international mental health tech company specialising in global peer support platforms that offer safe, engaging places for millions of people to share the ups and downs of life.
We then launched our higher education specific platform, TalkCampus as the pandemic hit in 2020 to provide ongoing mental health support wherever students were in the world and provide a critical continuity of care across 26 languages.
We know that student mental health support is crucial for retention and improving their experiences whilst in education. Peer-to-peer allows young people to share, connect, and feel understood by people like them. TalkCampus offers this on a safe platform which is professionally moderated with real-time escalation and 24/7 clinical support.
Where we're at
Since 2020 we’ve grown to support over 250 institutions and millions of students across the globe, helping users with their struggles anytime, anywhere.
"I can't help but feel grateful for this community. I appreciate the honesty, courage and compassion that is shown on the platform. I am going through a challenging time with my health, which has affected my ability to work and study. But I am inspired by all of you. Because of you, I have become a bit braver and more optimistic, feeling I can persevere. Onward and upward friends! We've got this"
