Why Hopewick exists

For the hours in between

Help is often a wait away

Appointments, caseworkers and meetings matter. Nights and weekends can still be long. Hopewick is somewhere to turn while you wait.

Asking is hard

Talking things through without worrying how anyone will react can help you find the words, then take them to the right person.

Built from lived experience

Made in Australia by someone in recovery, around harm minimisation. It meets you where you’re at.

  2. Meet Hope

    A short welcome explains what Hope can help with, what it can’t, and how your privacy works.

    Talk something through, check in, write a few lines or try a coping tool.

Our story

Built from lived experience. Created with purpose.

For years, trauma and addiction ran my life. I was the quietest person in the room. I thought I had to carry everything on my own.

That’s when I started using AI. It never replaced counselling, treatment or people. What it did was give me the courage to walk up to the staff on site and say, “I’m really struggling.”

Hopewick isn’t about asking people to believe what I believe. Whatever you believe, you’re welcome here.

Dwayne Stevens, founder. In recovery myself. Still completing the Dual Diploma of Mental Health and AOD at TAFE Queensland, placement complete, finishing January 2027. I’m not a doctor, psychologist or registered counsellor.

Safety, privacy and AI

Honest about what Hopewick is

Hope is AI, not a person

Hope is not a counsellor, doctor or clinician, and it can make mistakes. It sits alongside your psychologist, caseworker, rehab or GP. It doesn’t replace them.

Not a crisis service

If you or someone else is in danger, call 000. Lifeline is 13 11 14. Crisis numbers are always free in the app and below.

Your data, your choice

Chats are saved to your account and encrypted at rest. To write a reply, your messages are sent to our AI provider. Staff have no inbox of your conversations. You can export or delete your data at any time. Privacy policy.

Your next step starts here.

You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin.
