Welcome to EUStartup.news, and to another edition of our Startup Showcase! Today, we’re shining the spotlight on Turn2me, an Ireland-based startup that is taking mental health support digital, providing counselling and a community platform for those in need.
A Life-Changing Mission Born from Personal Tragedy
Founded in 2009 by brothers Oisin and Diarmuid Scollard, Turn2me was born from the deeply personal experience of losing their brother to suicide in 2003. Their heartbreaking journey became a catalyst for a revolutionary idea: using the power of technology to provide mental health support. Open to people over 18, Turn2me is non-religious, non-political, non-judgmental, confidential, and anonymous. The startup offers a safe space where people can get help, share problems, and realize they’re not alone.
A Unique Blend of Technology and Empathy
Turn2me is not just another online forum. Its online support groups are facilitated by professionals in mental health, ensuring a supportive environment. Furthermore, the startup offers professional online counselling services provided by certified Counsellors and Psychologists. By combining technological capabilities with qualified experts, Turn2me ensures that the help provided is both immediate and of high quality.
More Than Just a Startup: A Charitable Organisation
As a charitable organization, Turn2me meets the Governance Code for the Community, Voluntary, and Charitable Sector in Ireland. This means that not only is the startup committed to providing an invaluable service, but it also adheres to the highest standards of governance and integrity. The company’s charitable status also allows it to provide support to those who may not otherwise be able to afford professional mental health services.
The Future Looks Bright for Turn2me
What began as a vision to create a digital sanctuary for mental wellbeing has evolved into a transformative platform that is saving lives every day. Turn2me’s impact is especially crucial during times of global crisis, when feelings of isolation and anxiety can exacerbate pre-existing mental health issues. With more than a decade under its belt, Turn2me is a prime example of how startups can make a monumental impact in societal wellbeing.
If you or someone you know could benefit from mental health support, Turn2me is an excellent platform to consider. Their team is committed to making sure that everyone—regardless of location, religion, or financial situation—has access to the mental health resources they need.
