Anonymous Peer Connection Survey
录音中...
This survey is for adults aged 18 and over. It takes about 5 minutes to complete. We’re interested in understanding whether there is a real need for anonymous, low-pressure human connection, what people currently do when they want someone to talk to, what gets in the way of seeking support, and what kind of connection would feel comfortable. There are no right or wrong answers. Please answer based on your own experience and preferences.

Conversations can be a single check-in, a short-term chat, or an ongoing connection. (Note: This is an independent research project exploring peer connection, not therapy or crisis support.
