Abstract
People are now digitally connected, making the world a single large community. This remarkable benefit has solved many communication issues. For instance, people who go through difficult times and lack the emotional support required to overcome these crises can now join an online support group. For many years, such people had to travel to a predetermined location in a predetermined time to join a support group. Today, with the increasing availability of digital services, these groups can now meet online. For these reasons, this paper presents 'You aren't alone' mobile application, an interactive mobile-based application designed for Arab people who need psychological support. This application will help in enriching the Arabic content in the field of social support and will help in building supporting communities by peering users to the appropriate support group, anonymously without the fear of judgment. The application will enhance the peering process through a recommender system that reads the user's Twitter timeline and classifies the tweets as belonging to one of the available support groups.
