Living abroad and need someone who gets it?

Being far from India can change who you call when something is weighing on you. LeanOn gives Indians and South Asians abroad a private place to talk with a real peer listener about homesickness, relationships, family, work, cultural adjustment or simply a difficult day.

You do not need a diagnosis to want a conversation.

Many people abroad have friends, colleagues and family — but still have no one they want to tell the whole story to. Peer support is a place for the conversation itself. You choose the listener and the topic; the goal is to be heard rather than assessed.
