*Skaters with mental health issues: support forum*

Since there has been some interest expressed in this sort of thing, an e-mail support list with Yahoo! groups has been started for skaters to talk about "issues" (including eating disorders, self-harm, depression, anxiety, abuse, bullying, grief and loss), as well as their skating and everyday life. Especially in these times of war, we hope to provide a place for people to talk about their feelings, and to give and receive support.

If you wish to join, please go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/skatersupportgroup/. Non-skaters and former skaters are also welcome to join, and even if you have not been diagnosed with a psychological disorder, you can come here just to talk about anything related to mental health issues.

Confidentiality and safety of group members are my primary concerns with the group. For personal reasons, I'm not using my real name, so I don't expect anyone else to if they're not comfortable with doing so. Also, I will NOT use anything discussed in the forum for this website, and I expect that no one else will use the forum for research, either. Lurking on the list is okay as long as you don't cause problems, but if you're lurking for quite a while, I might e-mail you to ask what's up... just to ensure the safety of the list.

Please feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions about the group!
