New "Roberta's Place Parent Chat" Room Hours
Hi My name is Janice and I'm a chat-a-holic! I found chat before I found the support groups and have been going very frequently since. It's a great way to get support to immediate concerns you might have, vent, and support eachother. We have a great time and share laughs with the new chat room noises. If you have not checked out chat yet, I highly suggest doing so.
The hours of the parent chat room have changed. Sundays are back. We added in Tuesdays and tweaked the hours a bit. We are hopeful that this change will help more parents be able to participate. Here are the new hours:
Day Pacific Mountain Central Eastern Topic
Sunday 4 - 6 PM 5 - 7 PM 6 - 8 PM 7 - 9 PM General Chat
Tuesday 5-8 PM 6-9 PM 7-10 PM 8-11 PM General Chat
Wednesday 5-8 PM 6-9 PM 7-10 PM 8-11 PM General Chat
Friday 5-8 PM 6-9 PM 7-10 PM 8-11 PM General Chat
