The #The_Retreat chat room was founded May 11th, 2001 by Carol to provide a forum for emotional support to people dealing with any form of depression disorder. Whether you are personally afflicted with a bipolar disorder or depression, have a friend or relative that is, or you wish to lend a helping hand and a few kind words, you have come to the right place. Welcome!
Acting as a volunteer-based, non-professional organization, our greatest strength lies in our ability to come together as a group to provide peer to peer support for eachother. While we can go a long way toward helping eachother, it is important to stress that we are not licensed therapists or doctors and we strive to be clear about the boundries of that which we can accomplish here. The support we provide is a compliment to, and not a substitute for, proper medical treatment. We are not equipped to provide suicide intervention. We strongly encourage anyone in that situation to seek out help from crisis intervention services in their home community. (Dial 911 for emergency assistance)
The success of #The_Retreat is easily attributable to the many wonderful people who join in the positive and constructive dialog that occures in the channel each day. The greatest gift we can offer each other is our love and compassion, and if you have some extra and want to share, or need a little and are willing to meet new friends, then please join us any time. Everyone is welcome.
The chat room and these pages themselfs started only on May 11, 2001. However the Messageboard for Depressionchat.com has been going strong for a few years, the messageboard is ran by LYN. at Depressionchat/messageboards check us out! We are growing bigger and stronger every day, We are here to offer you support in every way that we can. We have alot of love and support to give. We would be glad to help you out.
