Literally every time I come to this location I’m here for 2 plus hrs when there is no one here. It makes no sense at all. My granddaughter has hives and they’re just lollygagging.

STAY AWAY FROM SHAREWELL UNLESS YOU WANT FURTHER TRAUMATIZATION!!! I joined this site in December 2024 because it sounded like a great ideal to get support and encouragement from your peers... What a huge MISTAKE!!!... what this site basically boiled down to was a site where untreated, mentally ill people were being used as unpaid free labor to counsel the mentally ill as so-called peers and I now understand why they have such strict confidentiality rules regarding what goes on in the sessions on this site because it is literally a "ZOO and a CIRCUS" where the mentally ill are basically allowed to run WILD and run the show!!!... as a result of being on this site I engaged with a host that hosted a session that caused me to be retraumatized... After sending a detailed description of what happened during this session with this particular host to ShareWell and discussing this incident with the so-called ShareWell Host's Manager (Amy) who agreed that the host that I reported violated ShareWell's policies on so many levels and that I should block her from having any contact with me on Sharewell they then afterwards blocked me from the site and refused to refund me my one year's membership fees that I had paid in advance... This site is a total Money-Grab and a Joke!!!... and even though they have recently started incorporating what they call professional hosts the majority of the people on this site are truly mentally ill and they're making money off of using their services for FREE which is soooo tragically dangerous and sad for all those that are involved on this site... Unless you want to risk receiving counsel from a mentally ill person and further Traumatization I would strongly suggest and recommend that you stay Far... Far... away from ShareWell!!! Update: To rebutt my previous very honest and transparent statement regarding my shared experience on ShareWell by stating that my ShareWell account was suspended because I violated this site's safety standards multiple times while I received absolutely ZERO safety violation notifications from this company during the time that I was a member of ShareWell and to say that you have no record of my paid membership after I was an UNPAID peer host on this site for 3 months hosting 3-5 sessions per week and receiving numerous highly rated reviews from other members of ShareWell in regards to the sessions that I hosted your rebuttal is blatantly UNTRUE and ABSURB!!!...

Horrific company. Paid for a subscription, didn’t like the sessions at all, and the company refused to refund my money. They then disabled my account so I couldn’t tell anyone what happened. The sessions are peer-lead so they are a shit show. My issues became worse from it.

As a sharewell user these are the things I found. One many come her to find their next love interest. Just wait you will notice. Two the groups are peer run by people who have never been to therapy much less school to know how to run a group. Three you go to ten groups and each group you introduce yourself and that is it. There are many and by the time each person does this the session is over. Never getting help with ways to cope or change. Four they now have a pro session that cost you more to use Personally if you want true help you won’t get it here. If you want to just vent you won’t get it here. I have been on here for around five months and had one good session. I got resources and information to move forward with. I wouldn’t waste my money. Sharewell you will rebuttal this but truth is truth you made that pro session and chanted more to use it

The first honest thing you should know is that ShareWell gives members a free month for writing a 5-Star review! Consider that while you read the 5-Star reviews. Here is my opinion, unbiased and honest experiences on ShareWell. ShareWell is supposed to be a compliment to seeing a Licensed Mental Health Therapist, but it is not. Members brag about firing their Therapist in sessions. They also bash Licensed Therapists. This occurred in several groups that I attended, which I found disturbing. ShareWell is not supposed to be a replacement for Therapy with a Licensed Therapist, but many members have chosen to do so and encourage others to do so. I was verbally attacked by a member because I reminded her of her Mother, and I do not feel that ShareWell provided sufficient support for that incident. I was just told sorry and encouraged to learn to be more assertive while hosting. Some members are rude, selfish, and inconsiderate and disregard the topic of the session and make it their own instead of respect the Host and other group members. For example, an Art Group should be fun and stress relief. On several occasions, I witnessed a member in my own group and other hosts Art Groups enter the session and start crying and talking about her abusive husband or how her parents abused her as a child. ShareWell only has one person in charge of all the volunteer hosts! They offer support sessions, but not enough of them! They should be offered at various times and days so that the hosts have more access and can ask more questions and receive more training and guidance. I tried to email the person in charge of the hosts to ask questions and gain more support, but for months my emails went to her Spam box and were left unanswered. After hosting a few sessions, I soon realized that I was in over my head and just how insufficient the host training was! There was nothing in the training course to prepare a host for when a member comes in and wants to ignore the topic and tone of the group and turn it into their own Trauma Dump Session or when a Member enters the group and is blasting loud club music and is behaving like they could be under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or starts discussing being suspended from work for sexual harassment of a co-worker. I am angry and resent ShareWell for using and exploiting me! I feel that if ShareWell really does care about people as they claim that they should give, a low income person who lost a loved one should receive a free year of ShareWell Unlimited with proof of loss and low income. Even Walmart and Amazon offer discounted rates on memberships to people on public assistance! Since the hosts are not Licensed Professionals are not paid, they could easily afford to gift a free annual unlimited membership to someone who is indigent and lose a loved one if they really cared about people and want to support people struggling with mental health challenges as they claim. ShareWell takes advantage and exploits people like me who are living in poverty and lost their Mother for profits. I resent that in order to receive sufficient support that I must host in exchange for a free month. ShareWell took advantage of my need for support during my grief, and I was pushed beyond my limits. As a result, I am burned out and depressed. I think it is rotten of ShareWell to exploit and use people who need support for mental health struggles and profit from struggling people hosting before they are ready to host just so that they can earn a free month and continue to receive support. This is just my opinion based on my experience. I have come to believe that ShareWell is more toxic for me than supportive. Very few sessions were beneficial for me. Most sessions are members venting and crying, and I feel frustrated, re-traumatized, or triggered. I have decided that I no longer want to place my Mental Health in the hands of volunteers who lack the training and support necessary or host sessions. ShareWell exploits people during the lowest point in their lives! ShareWell is no better than Social Media for support!

(Don’t let the 5-star reviews fool you. They give people a free month of unlimited membership in exchange.) If you are looking for a site with plenty of peers who clearly have borderline personality disorder and Cluster B traits, this is for you! You will trigger all of them when you set boundaries, even as a host, and eventually get permanently banned for restricting members who have hurt you. Sharewell is an expensive site run by volunteer hosts who get paid zero dollars, to be treated with disrespect and be doubted by leadership when submitting valid concerns. Sharewell is the definition of an abusive site preying on abused and traumatized people and their money.

This company does not respect people to remain anonymous. They also don’t have licensed professionals running the group sessions. I am not impressed with the strict guidelines that you have to show your face. It makes for people with trauma like myself uncomfortable.
