A great idea.

Can you expand a bit on this statement on your home page:

"Speak with a compassionate, trained listener through our secure, monitored network."

What does "monitored" mean?

By "trained" what do you mean (because it seems as if anyone can be a listener)?

I can't speak as to 'monitored', but in terms of training, from the article: "Potential listeners must complete an online training program and speak with Moriarty on the phone before they start taking calls."
