For members & mentors
How Healthy AM works
Two flows live side-by-side: members request peer support, and Healthy AM Mentors train + facilitate. Here’s what happens in each.
If you’re a member
- Sign in with Discord.
You need to be a verified member of the AsianMasc Discord. We read your roles to know what to show you.
- Start an intake.
Five questions: what brought you here, what’s going on, what you’d most like to change, what you’ve tried, and what support looks like for you (1:1, group, just to talk). Two minutes.
- A Healthy AM lead triages.
Lead reviews your intake, tags urgency, and assigns to a trained mentor whose schedule and style fits. You’ll usually hear back within a day or two.
- Private Discord thread opens.
Your mentor opens a private thread with just the two of you and posts a primer. Take it from there — pace, depth, and ending are up to you.
If you’re training to be a mentor
- Apply.
Short form: motivation, any relevant experience, availability. Healthy AM leads decide.
- Six training sessions over a few weeks.
Pre-readings + reflection in-app. Live sessions on Discord. Topics: motivational interviewing, behavioural change, safety & empowerment, group facilitation, intakes, role-plays, balancing problem-solving with listening.
- Role-play and reflect.
Sign up to facilitate, play the client, or observe. Written feedback after each round.
- Graduate, take intakes, facilitate a group.
After Session 6 and a final observation, a lead promotes you to Mentor. Your role syncs to Discord automatically.
What this is, what this isn’t
This is

- · 1:1 or group format, your choice
This is not
- · Therapy or clinical mental health care
- · A crisis line — call/text 988 in the US
- · A replacement for medical advice
- · Public — your intake stays private
