Hi folks,

As our little community has grown, we've had more and more requests for regular weekly support chats for major concerns and other topics, like Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar disorder, Parenting, and such.

What I'm looking for now are members in good standing, who've been with us for more than 6 months, and who want to help us lead such self-help support chats. You do not need any experience in leading such groups in the past in order to be the leader for these groups. Leaders are simply responsible for being in the group each week and helping kick off groups with a regular check-in, and then discussing a topic of the week. Your group members will help choose each week's topic, and if need be, so can I.

Our goal is to have a half dozen or more regular support group meetings held each and every week on popular topics that people with that condition or concern can check in with, ask questions of other members, and feel the immediate support that a live chat can offer.

Support groups may be held any time between 9:00 am ET until 11:00 pm ET on any day that's convenient for leaders. We will work with such folks (either self-nominated or recommended by others) to help with scheduling and the ins-and-outs of running a weekly chat.

Please PM me with your suggestions or nominations, and I'm happy to work with folks to make this happen.

Thank you!
DocJohn
