TBIHELP.ORG - our local Chat Session - meet other caregivers here to share issues, concerns and experiences.

TBICHAT.ORG provides a broad scope and reach of real-time chat options. We cooperate in their efforts

Voice Chat - sample. Try it if you have sound. You will be prompted for a "plug-in" the first time you use it. 

Discussion Forum [Bulletin Board] for Caregivers - submit your thoughts and concerns on issues, then check back to review responses to your thoughts.

Discussion Forums - these operate like 'real-time' e-mail. You 1) find a 'Thread' that is of interest (or create one), 2)  put your thoughts in the Comments box, and 3) press the Submit button. Then Refresh the page in your browser, and you can see your item in the 'Subject' listing. Others can see what you have added by refreshing their browser as well. You should expect that others will read and reply to your submission over a day or two, so check back to read the responses of others as well as to see what new topics (threads) have been started.
