Chat Policy

Depression Community rules and guidelines apply to chats as well as to forums.

We count on our chat hosts to moderate our scheduled chats, keeping them generally on topic, welcoming participants, and trying to see that all are heard and treated with respect. This isn’t always easy, and we ask members to work with the hosts to accomplish these goals.

If you have differences with the judgment of a chat host, please save the history of the chat and contact the area coordinator or the Community manager later.

Please remember that while our chats are a good space for mutual support and self-help, they cannot take the place of your therapist or your local crisis center. Be clear with others when you are talking about distress or depression that this is an issue you are working with, not a call for immediate action.

Our chat rooms are open at all times, but we cannot be responsible for behavior in these rooms when they are unhosted. We suggest creating your own room, where you will automatically have host privileges, as an alternative to meeting in an unhosted chat room.

Sue Moran, Depression Community Manager.
