Digital Group Sessions

The Panda Forest is a set of ever-changing live sessions that happen 7 days a week to help with mental well-being. Our core app offering is focused on interactive audio-only and chat enabled live sessions:

  • Peer-led support groups with individuals who are facing similar challenges, normalizing issues and provide users with support from a group of like-minded peers
  • Expert-led psycho-educational sessions which will provide users with an entry point to better understand mental health and engage directly with an expert

Panda calls these digital group sessions the Forest, and we cannot wait to see you there!

Live and interactive

Forest sessions are live, with real community members and experts. Ask questions, share your thoughts, and get support from others. They are not recorded, so you can feel safe and be present.

Free for all

Sign up today and join the forest without any commitment or payment. There are sessions every hour every day from 08h00-22h00 (GMT+2), covering a wide variety of topics including open lines.

Anonymous and under your control

By default you are an anonymous nickname, simply listening in to a group session. You can then choose to type, or even ask for the mic, but are under no obligation to speak if you don't want to.

Why is the Forest free?
