Two things to be clear about
Neeli is not medical care. It is not therapy, counselling or treatment. Neeli is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any medical condition, and listeners are not licensed mental health professionals. Please consult a qualified healthcare professional for medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
Neeli is not an emergency service. We cannot send help to your location.

By using Neeli you agree to our Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy and Community Guidelines. You can delete your account and data at any time — from inside the app, or from our account and data deletion page, without reinstalling.
