WHAT IS SHIFT?
Shift aims at shifting the paradigm of mental health.
Mental Health Challenges are usually exhausting and draining. They often leave us wondering about the purpose of life. We feel helpless and alone. Support, guidance and experiences from peers and counsellors can bring about a change in this point of view and “shift” the users towards a path of better life. We created SHIFT to make it convenient and comfortable for anyone to get access to professional help and support.
WHO ARE THE COUNSELORS/THERAPISTS?
These are licensed, trained, experienced, and accredited psychologists (PhD/PsyD), marriage and family therapists (MFT), clinical social workers (LCSW), licensed professional counselors (LPC), or similar credentials. All of them have a Master’s Degree or a Doctorate Degree in their field. They have been qualified and certified by their state professional board after successfully completing the necessary education, exams, training and practice. They all possess years of hands on experience.
After you sign up, you will be able to interact with available counselor who fits your objectives, preferences, and the type of issues you are dealing with. Different counselors have different approaches and areas of focus so it’s important to find the right person who can achieve the beast results for you.
WHO ARE THE SHIFTERS?
Shifters are people just like you, who have gone through the same experiences and want to use this platform to contribute back to this world. You can be a Shifter too, guiding and helping others, overcoming the challenges of life.
Anyone can be a shifter, by simply having a passion to understand and listen. It is a medium through which you can explore your passion to help others without the need of a professional degree or experience. All you need to have is a good heart and good intentions.
After you sign up, you can take part in different group discussions, 1-to-1 chats, and specific topic discussions and start sharing your ideas and views.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
You can be a part of self-help, group discussions or proper medical/therapeutic guidance by using different features available on this platform. These facilities are available 24/7. Even more exciting is that you can have cross – cultural advice and help by connecting to people even outside your country. You can use it at any time, from any Internet connected device wherever you are.
In these discussions, you will write about yourself, the things going on in your life, ask questions and discuss the issues that trouble you. Counselors, Therapists, Shifters will also be present to read your messages and respond with feedback, insights, and guidance. They will help you learn about the issues that hold you back and prepare you to move forward. Together you will slowly shift towards making a positive change in your life and a better health.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
Many people avoid getting professional help because it can become extremely expensive. We want to make this easy and accessible. We have created a plan through which you will only be charged for services that you use.
