Introduction

The disability chat room is for persons with disabilities, caregivers, and those wishing to discuss disability and health issues or seeking support.

Main Content

The chat rooms are open to users over 18 years and are primary for disability and health related subjects for those seeking support and companionship.

If you are seeking information, depressed, bed ridden and bored, confined to the house, or maybe in hospital with Internet access and nothing to do, you'll meet a lot of new friends in our chat rooms. Chatting to people in similar circumstances and sharing experiences with other men and women from around the world can often help alleviate anxiety and depression as you realize you are not alone, and many others also feel the same way and suffer similar pain that you maybe feeling.
