Fighting The Holiday Blues and Re-organizing Depression Group Support Rooms

Thanks to everyone who filled out the Adult Group Member Room Survey! We appreciate everyones responses and feedback and we want to get started on implementing some of the changes you suggested as soon as possible to help continue to foster the supportive and compassionate community we know and love.

Out of almost 200 responses to the survey, 60 of you had suggested we close a room. Out of those 60, 20 of you had mentioned closing one of the three depression rooms. After reviewing your suggestions and the activity in the rooms, weve come up with the following plan:

- As of Tuesday, December 19th, the currently badge-locked Depression Community Room will be closed.

- Depression Support 1 and Depression Support 2 will be renamed to Depression Support and Depression Chat. Both rooms will remain open 24/7, with Depression Support being the designated room for scheduled discussions and Depression Chat being an open lighthearted chat at all times.

- To kick-off these changes, we will be having extra discussions and events in the Depression Support Room on Tuesday, December 19th.

*Updated Discussion Schedule for 12/19*

We hope that these changes will help the group support rooms continue to be a thriving, active and supportive piece of this community. Please let us know your thoughts and, as always, were here to answer questions and provide support and clarity if needed.
