Different Support. Affordable Connection.
Support can take different forms. BetterHelp provides access to licensed therapy. Sponsor Me is different—we help people find and connect with volunteer peer sponsors in recovery communities. Sponsor Me is not therapy, counseling, medical care, or professional addiction treatment.
BetterHelp
An online therapy platform that provides access to licensed therapists.
Online therapy through BetterHelp: approximately $70–$100/week*
Sponsor Me
A peer-connection platform for finding and messaging volunteer peer sponsors in recovery communities.
Sponsor Me peer-connection platform: plans starting at $1.99/week.
Sponsor Me's subscription pays for access to our platform and premium connection/messaging features—not for therapy and not for the sponsor themselves.
Longer plans cost less per week
Savings compared with paying the $1.99 weekly plan for the same length of time, based on a 52-week year.
Professional therapy and peer sponsorship serve different purposes. Sponsor Me was built to make finding and connecting with volunteer peer sponsors simple, private, and affordable.
