Kharis says it right back!
Our support adapts and evolves with the changing needs of people and organisations—because no single approach works for everyone.
Kharis offers a private, safe space to process worries and stressors before they become overwhelming. Many people feel better after their very first conversation.
Clinical programmes, AI check-ins and practical exercises help with anxiety, sleep, difficult conversations and everyday productivity concerns.
When more support is needed, Kharis connects you to personalised one-on-one coaching and qualified therapists for faster, more frequent care.
Crisis screening, local helplines, grounding exercises and a personal safety plan help every person move forward through the right care pathway.
Clear, honest answers about what Kharis is, how the service works and when professional or emergency support is the right next step.
Kharis is an Afrocentric AI-based teletherapy solution designed to help people process everyday mental health concerns and connect with professional support or human coaches when more help is needed.
You begin by opening Kharis on your device and starting a private conversation. Kharis can guide check-ins and self-care exercises, then help direct you towards coaching, therapy or another appropriate care pathway when needed.
Kharis was presented as a private, anonymous space where people can talk without stigma. Before using any live service, please review the current Privacy Policy and Terms of Service for the latest information about data handling.
The Kharis conversational service was designed to be easy to access and available whenever a person needs to talk, without waiting for a scheduled appointment.
No. Kharis supports self-care and early conversations, but it does not replace professional medical or clinical care. People who need additional support can be directed to a human coach, therapist or other specialist.
The archived service description includes AI check-ins and exercises for concerns such as anxiety, sleep, difficult conversations and productivity, alongside coaching and therapist-supported programmes.
Kharis can help connect a person to personalised one-to-one coaching, therapists or an organisation's existing employee assistance support, depending on the service available to them.
Our resources feature current research, stories of recovery, ways to end stigma and practical strategies for living well. Most importantly, they feature your voices.
