Adding a Peer Supporter Contact

You can add a Peer Supporter as a contact in two ways:

1. From the Find a Peer Supporter page, or
2. From the Group Leaders tab on an organization page. 

Adding a Contact from Find a Peer Supporter page

• Make sure you are signed into your account on HeyPeers 
• Click on the Find a Peer Supporter tab - Find a Peer Supporter 
• Find the Peer Supporter you want to connect with.
  • Click Add if you want to immediately send a request to add them as a contact, OR
  • Click Profile if you want to read more about them. 

• Once on their profile, if you do wish to add them as a Contact, then click Connect.

• Until the Peer Supporter approves your request to connect, you can go to your Account menu and click on Contacts to see the Sent Requests.

• Once the Peer Supporter approves your request to connect, you will see them under the Active connections. There you can send a message to them directly! When you send them a message, it also connects to the Chat tab.

• Navigate over to the Chat tab to continue and see the full conversation.

Adding a Contact from Group Leaders tab on an Organization page

• Make sure you are signed into your account on HeyPeers 
• For an example, let's say you want to connect with a group leader from Postpartum Support International.
  1. Click on Organizations tab
  2. Click on All to search for the organization.
  3. Type the name of the organization into the search box and hit enter.
  4. Verify if you are already subscribed to the organization. If you are not subscribed, it will have a "Subscribe" button. Please take the time to subscribe to the organization when you have a chance. 
  5. Click on More to go to the organization page.

• Once you are on the organization page, click on the Group Leaders tab. Search for the leader you wish to connect with. Once you click Connect, you will be taken back to the About Us main page for the organization. If you click back onto the Group Leaders tab, you will see the Connect button is no longer available.

• Until the Peer Supporter approves your request to connect, you can go to your Account menu and click on Contacts to see the Sent Requests.

• Once the Peer Supporter approves your request to connect, you will see them under the Active connections, where you can send a message to them directly! When you send them a message, it also connects to the Chat tab.

• Navigate over to the Chat tab to continue and see the full conversation.
