New text-based support chat! Join us today on Discord between 5:30 to 7:00 to chat with other disabled folks and get support.
Message or email ([email protected]) for access.
As an alternative to our video-based support chats over Zoom, we are introducing a new text-based option over Discord for all disabled, chronically ill, Deaf, hard of hearing, neurodivergent, mentally ill, and/or Mad folks. We are inclusive of all disabilities and respect self-diagnosis.
Our open-ended theme for the first meeting on Tuesday, July 14 between 5:30 and 7:00 is "Socializing and Social Distancing." This chat is facilitated by Kat, co-coordinator. She has multiple physical, sensory, and mental health disabilities.
Participants will need to create an account on Discord (discord.com/new) before joining the chat. Discord has a built-in text-to-speech program, which can be found in "User Settings" under "Text & Images", and then clicking the "Text-to-Speech" option.
If you have any questions or access needs, send us a message on Facebook or email ([email protected]).
Hope to see you folks there!
