Slow Tech Movement

A slower, more human way for therapist peer groups to stay connected

Therapists already know the value of trusted peer support. The challenge is that support often lives inside scheduled meetings, group supervision, or consultation spaces — while the need for connection can happen in between.

This app is not trying to replace peer groups.

It is designed to gently enhance them — giving trusted members a simple way to signal availability, request a quick connection, and remember when support happened, without turning care into another noisy platform.

Built for trust, boundaries, and real human support

Therapist peer groups are different from generic networking spaces. They require privacy, discernment, consent, and a shared understanding of what kind of support is appropriate.

A Slow Tech approach asks a different question:

How can technology support trusted connection without making people feel more available, more interrupted, or more overwhelmed?

Possible uses for therapist groups

  • Let members say when they are open to a quick peer support call
  • Request connection from a trusted group without posting publicly
  • Support members between formal group meetings
  • Keep a light record of planned or completed peer connections
  • Create invite-only spaces where membership is intentional

What it is not

This is not a clinical documentation tool, a client consultation archive, or a replacement for supervision. The goal is not to store sensitive client information or create another formal system therapists have to manage.

The goal is simpler:

A private, invite-only way for trusted peers to find each other when a short, human connection would help.

Designed with Slow Tech principles

The Slow Tech Movement is about building technology that protects the parts of human work that should take the time they take: relationship, reflection, trust, and care.

For therapist groups, that means designing an app that is intentionally limited, calm, and respectful of boundaries — not another feed, inbox, or productivity system.

Interested in exploring this for your peer group?

I am currently exploring early versions of this idea with therapists and trusted peer support groups. If your group already meets and you are curious about a simple way to stay connected between meetings, I would love to learn more.
