I really like this idea of therapy and gaming and with people, it gives us the option to game together or chill playing our own game while healing and processing and helping others. There's just the right amount of direction and educating from the leader of the group.

The support I got from the my Hero Journey Group has been so helpful. I've been a part of my group for a few weeks now. The staff were friendly and were kind to help me when there were some complications getting logged in at first. The group counselor is competent and the other group members have been very friendly. I love being able to message on Discord throughout the week as well to vent if I need more support as well.

I have been with HJC since early 2022, not long after they started operations, and every experience has been overwhelmingly positive and helpful. I always find benefit from my weekly group sessions, and all my group members are wonderful and kind. My journey guide is amazing and provides us with useful resources and ideas. In addition, as the community has grown, HJC staff has grown as well. They took strides to streamline customer service and support. All in all, HJC has been incredibly important to me and my mental health, and I would recommend it wholeheartedly.

I love how warm each session feels. I think the journey guides do a great job at creating a welcoming environment, which is particularly useful when joining a session with people you don't know. It can be hard to be open with people you don't know; there is a lot of shame and fear of rejection, but the journey guides are always there to clarify that the space *is* safe, and a judgement-free zone. You can set your own community guidelines with your group, which really help set boundaries and expectations. I also really love how free-flow our sessions can be. There is a lot of flexibility with how a session can go which is great if someone had something unexpected happen and needs time to talk. It also allows a space for us to just kinda chat about things in general, not necessarily related to therapy.

It sounded great at first, but the "Unlimited “Peer Quests”—community events" that is still (as of 11/21/2023) mentioned on the FAQ, is now monetized as a separate fee. It's unethical and honestly, a little disturbing.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We value all opinions as they help us improve our service. We're continuously working to improve our program and maintain a positive atmosphere. We sent out a survey asking Journeyers what services they would be interested in us adding to Hero Journey Club. We want to continue offering programing that is beneficial to our members and have gotten requests for different types of sessions to help supplement their journeys. Separate from that, we are still working on creating a community space for Journeyers to be able interact with one another outside of their sessions and this is something that would be included as a part of your existing membership and not an added cost. Your feedback will be taken into consideration as we strive to make these improvements.

I love and look forward to my weekly sessions with my journey group and guide, Anna. It's great for those looking for a sense of community and support in their mental health journey. I've learned quite a bit from the group and I feel it's improved my well-being and mental health.
