Heimo
Heimo is social media for peer support, where people can help each other, share stories and connect.
Heimo is a mental well-being community where people can share their experiences and advise each other. The first step for finding a solution to your problem will always be the realization that other people have gone through the same as you. Heimo will provide you with quality content that you can relate to - and rely on.
“We in Heimo are on a bold mission to build world’s biggest peer support community.” That’s the mission of Heimo, stated by CEO Jarno Alastalo.
The fundamental idea in Heimo is that there are sensitive issues, such as mental health problems, that many of us comes across in our lives, but there is a certain stigma in it that prevents us from seeking help and talking about those issues. Heimo aims to make it easier for all of us.
