Unquoted remarks aren't exactly peer reviewed research. A name you've never heard of would be no more official. The shorter quotes are statements that have been made over the years. The paragraphs were written specifically for the website.


"I love the voice calls. Having that resource available to me daily for free is something many local governments aren't able to effectively provide. It's all made possible by friends wanting to help their friends. I've gotten more out of it than any crisis line"

"If I had to delete all of my discord servers but one, I'd stay here"

"I do and say things, not mean things, but things that other communities wouldn't allow me to express. For example, I think it is sometimes in your best interest to hide certain things from your doctor. The belief wasn't popular. It was largely disagreed with. Still, they understood why I held the belief due to what they knew about me and didn't pass harsh judgement. 'Friend' is the key element in 'Friend Therapy'. When you're getting your support from friends, your experience is very different from many other online groups that feel distant"


"CNP has done a lot for me. This illness can really make you feel alone. But not here. Being able to air it out without judgement or confusion has helped me feel like I can survive. "

"This server is more trans friendly that servers devoted to trans people"

"Imagine feeling like a leper, not because of a visible difference, but because of one nobody can see inside you. Imagine keeping a secret, as best you can, because nobody would understand. Now, imagine you have a place to go, where you are accepted for who you are, no matter what. That's what this means to me. I can find here camaraderie I can't even find among those closest to me. I love my family in blood, and I also have a family here that I love."


"I felt like I knew everyone from the very first day"

I love how close this community is. We bond quickly over similar experiences, so one never feels completely alone in their illness. There's always a kind word from our people. We guide and support each other better than any other platform I've been a part of. Friend therapy really is the best therapy.

'CNP was a crucial step in me understanding my condition, coping with it and recovering from psychosis. As well as provided a safe space to speak with (and seek support from) those who understand. Other spaces were often hostile, or filled with people who can't understand my experience, (as they have no first-hand experience with psychosis themselves). Support groups either didn't respond to me, or they would promise I could join, but never deliver. CNP was there for me during that, and, possibly the best part is, it wasn't a one-sided relationship, I got support, and supported others at the same time. I don't know many members that well, but they feel like friends even so. I couldn't afford therapy, but I've found something I consider just as valuable here.'

"I've never felt more validated in any of my support groups"


"I hope nothing ever happens to this community"


"I cant get over how nice everyone is"
