Naven
Communities
A peer support group with screening
Naven never blocks somebody saying they are struggling — that message is delivered with help offered alongside it, because blocking it would isolate the person who reached out.
Who this is for
Groups formed around a shared experience, often including vulnerable members.
How it is usually set up
A channel, with the understanding that this is peer support rather than clinical care.
What Naven does not claim
Naven promises no security and no moderation. Messages are screened before they send against twelve published categories, by software written by one person — it misses things, and it is weaker in languages other than English. Calls are not screened at all. Naven is not end-to-end encrypted, which is what makes screening possible; anyone whose first requirement is end-to-end encryption should use Signal.
What it costs
Nothing. Naven is free, with no advertising, no paid tier and no data sale.
