KUALA LUMPUR, July 5 (Bernama) -- NoorLine, a free anonymous distress line was recently launched out of Detroit, Michigan, bringing round-the-clock peer-to-peer emotional support to distressed individuals worldwide.
Trained Muslim volunteer listeners man their keyboard to provide mental health support and general interaction via direct messaging from the website.
After going to the NoorLine website and creating an account, users can browse and choose the listeners and use the messaging feature to start communicating with them.
Individuals can also choose to be a listener by completing a free 10-minute online training session.
Founder, Faisal Khan said: “The best part of this service is that since our listeners take direct messages from their personal accounts on the NoorLine website, they can provide culturally sensitive emotional support for Muslims and non-Muslims located anywhere in the world.
“At a time where worldwide anxiety is at an all-time high for both Muslims and non-Muslims alike, a platform like this can really help a lot of people and hopefully, even start building bridges among communities.”
