VillageTalk launches an updated app to connect people across the globe in supportive communities organized around the most difficult human experiences.
—
Where most online communities organize themselves around entertainment and common interests, VillageTalk is building a platform for people to share their common struggles. Topics that might be tip-toed around or censored out altogether on other sites are taking center stage on the VillageTalk app, a new anonymous social networking platform where users are encouraged to give and receive support in the areas where they need it most.

Since its launch, VillageTalk has received ardent praise for the genuine vulnerability and healing that it facilitates between its users. Far from the self-help gurus and success strategies sold by many mental health-oriented apps, VillageTalk’s power lies in its community and in the freely shared love and experience that its members offer one another.
In the wake of the global pandemic, the World Health Organization has observed a 25% increase in anxiety and depression worldwide. This massive spike comes on the heels of already darkening mental health statistics, many of which can be traced to the intense isolation felt by many in recent years.
People rely on their communities most when tragedy and disaster strike, but many have found themselves cut off from those communities. VillageTalk is seeking to harness social networking technology to make a supportive and loving community accessible anywhere, at any time.
The platform is organized into distinct “villages,” each characterized by a topic on which users can choose to give or receive support. These village topics range from addiction and abuse to health and financial problems. No matter how big or small one’s struggles may seem, they can find an empathetic ear and insights from people who have survived similar situations.
The anonymity offered by VillageTalk allows users to experience a level of vulnerability that may be uncomfortable, or even impossible to share with the people in their day-to-day lives. In this way, community members seek support on the most sensitive issues in their lives from people who understand and appreciate their pain.
A spokesperson for the platform opened up about the value they see in VillageTalk, sharing, “We are a group of individuals like you, who have gone through many of life’s ups and downs, collectively coming together to give others the hope and inspiration that is very much needed in today’s challenging times.”
