You can add a Peer Supporter as a contact in two ways:
- From the Find a Peer Supporter page, or
- 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.
