Is someone you care about lonely or socially isolated?

Do they find it challenging to initiate social interaction and associate with peers?

Would they like having a buddy who listens and spends some time with them?

BePeers is a new online service that pairs children and/or young adults with a peer coach based on geography, interests, and goals for virtual sessions from the comfort of their home.

Join the BePeers founders and coaches in a virtual introductory session to better understand how they are keen on enhancing skills, confidence and wellness, one interaction at a time. Register now!

BePeers connects anyone who experiences social and/or life skills challenges with qualified peer coaches for virtual interactions, guided conversations, entertainment, and social/life skills training.

BePeers coaching sessions use a “self-determination model”, where each coach and coachee will set goals they wish to achieve and hold each other accountable. They can keep diaries of their meetings, recordings of their games and discussions. Or they can just hang out in our virtual “entertainment centre” of 80+ creative, logical, physical or expressive games. Our coaches are given access to a wide repository of resources and materials to help them organize the sessions.

Our peer coaches come from diverse backgrounds, with prior exposure to neurodiversity either professionally or personally. They will be also mentored by a licensed professional for any questions/ guidance they might need/ have.

BePeers is not a counselling platform; it’s a community for those in need of a social coach, a buddy, and for their parents, and caregivers. Peer coaching isn’t and shouldn’t be perceived as a remedial activity or strategy to “fix” someone. Rather, peer coaching can be as tailored, individual, and unique as the team who undertakes it.
