Talklife

At your lowest point, who do you turn to? Not everyone is blessed with family and friends who understand, or are willing to offer their support. With the TalkLife app, people enter a safe environment where they can share their story with a community that identifies with their struggles.

Discussions aren’t limited to mental health. Some talk about relationships, school life and financial problems. Irrespective of the topic, users quickly find comfort in the TalkLife community - they are no longer alone.

Creator, Jamie Druitt, saw an opportunity to connect struggling people through a social network where unpopular or ‘taboo’ topics were no longer off limits. A simple idea, but it has been embraced.

In just seven months, the app has been used millions of times with 20,000 daily users across the globe. It is number one in the app store in it’s category and is also featured in the app store. It’s popularity has far exceeded expectations with many users confessing it is the only place where they feel comfortable talking about their mental health issues. It is a safe and understanding environment that many can’t find at home or from professional services.

TalkLife is the highest rated item for search terms such as “self harm”, “depression” and “suicide” in the App Store.
