Become a Verified Virtual Companion
@ the Institute of Ethical Virtual Companionship (IEVC)
Join a growing community of people helping shape ethical, non-clinical virtual companionship. IEVC provides a standards-based training and verification framework designed to make this work safer, clearer, and more consistent.
VEVC applies to non-clinical companionship delivered through remote communication. It confirms completion of IEVC training and verification and signals readiness to provide companionship within an explicitly non-clinical scope and defined ethical standards.
A New Standards and Verification Framework for Virtual Companionship
The Institute for Ethical Virtual Companionship (IEVC) publishes practice standards and conducts training and verification for individuals providing non-clinical virtual companionship.
IEVC verification confirms a companion can hold the role with clear boundaries, role clarity, privacy discipline, and safety-aligned escalation practices. IEVC does not operate a marketplace and does not provide clinical services.
Verified Ethical Virtual Companion (VEVC) Designation
The VEVC designation is for non-clinical providers who offer companionship through secure video or other remote modalities. It confirms readiness to provide companionship within defined ethical standards and an explicitly non-clinical scope.
Commitment to Standards Compliance
VEVC is not a clinical designation and does not represent therapy or counseling.
VEVC does not authorize diagnosis, treatment, or mental health intervention.
VEVC emphasizes role clarity, boundaries, consent, professionalism, privacy, and escalation protocols.
Transparent Enforcement Framework
We maintain a clear framework for review and removal of VEVC status.
