Scheduling a call
We are piloting an expansion of DeQH’s peer support services to include scheduled calls! This means that if you cannot call us during our regular, weekly open hours, you can sign up to receive a call from one of our peer support members at another time using this link.
What to know:
What to know:
- How does it work? Schedule a call at one of the available time slots. You will receive a confirmation email of the date/time appointment. At the scheduled time, one of our volunteers will give you a phone call from 908-367-3374 and you can chat with them for up to 45 minutes.
- When can I sign up? You can sign up now! New slots will be posted each month. This is a pilot offering that will be available from August 1 through October 31, 2025. We will then determine if we will continue offering this form of calls.
- How can you sign up? You can sign up for a slot using this link.
- How long are the calls? Each session will last up to 45 minutes, but you can use as much or as little of that time as you like to talk about anything of your choice.
- Can I sign up for multiple calls? Right now, these conversations are one-time conversations as we do not have the capacity to sustain ongoing conversations. If additional support is needed, please talk to the peer volunteer to learn about alternative options.
- Can I still call DeQH’s Helpline during regular hours? Yes! DeQH’s trained volunteers will still be available on Thursday and Sunday nights from 5-7pm PT / 8-10pm ET for you to call us.
- What is the purpose of the call? The purpose of our peer support is to offer free, culturally affirming connection to people with similar experiences through a drop-in peer conversation with South Asian LGBQ/TGNB+ volunteers. We invite you to talk about anything that’s on your mind! Our volunteers are prepared to talk about gender identity, sexual orientation, loneliness, family, love, sexual orientation, connection, faith, and more. We are not a crisis line. We will never call the police.
