From both a member's and listener's perspective this site is great
From both a member's (people receiving support) and listener's (people who volunteer to give support) point of view I've had a really great experience with cups. Of course not all listeners are going to be the best fit for you but if you persevere, you can find some of the kindest and most well meaning people on the planet. They have really great programs and training to help you improve your active listening skills among other things. And again the majority of the community there is great. I would 100% recommend to anyone who may want someone to listen to them (although don't use this site for crisis support the listeners are not trained for that) or for anyone who would like to volunteer their time to bettering themselves and helping people feel heard along the way. For any potential new members: if you don't have the best experience with the first listener you connect to, try another one, you never know when you'll find the person who's the right match for your needs, and once you find that listener that you click with it can really make a world of difference.
