Questions
Quick answers.
Common questions about our programs, getting involved, and how peer support works.
Peer support is help offered by people who share similar experiences. It centers shared knowledge, empathy, and encouragement to promote personal growth and well-being — connection from someone who truly gets it.
Our programs are open to adolescents and young adults seeking peer support, and to their caregivers and families. We welcome people from all backgrounds and experiences — and every program is free.
Nothing. Every Rebuild Yourself program is 100% free, thanks to the generosity of our donors, sponsors, and volunteers. The only thing you need to bring is yourself.
Submit a short inquiry through our contact page. A real person on our team will follow up by phone or email to answer questions and help you find the right program — you can start your first session in as little as one week.
You can volunteer your time, donate to keep programs free, partner with us as an organization, or share your story. Visit our Get Involved page to find the path that fits you.
