Fello - Experience-based peer support
Fello is an innovative platform that connects individuals facing challenges with peers who have overcome similar experiences. By leveraging the power of shared lived experiences, Fello provides accessible, affordable, approachable, experience-based support. Fellos are not therapists or medical professionals, they're simply people who have overcome some of life's biggest challenges and are excited to help others do the same. From navigating the stresses of parenting to living a life without drinking, we want to create a world where everyone has someone to lean on.
