Fort Refuge Hosted Chats

Scheduled chats are one hour weekly meetings where Fort members discuss issues surrounding survivors and their healing. Some chats have predetermined topics while others are more spontaneous and offer open discussion. All chats are hosted by Fort staff and are held in the private room. Passwords are needed to access the private chatroom and they may be obtained by applying for acceptance.

TOUGH TIMES

Manya hosting - Thursdays 10:00PM EST
This is a chat for survivors that would like discussions within a close group. Our goal is to help members that are experiencing the effects of trauma, rape, incest and other forms of abuse. The format offers a greeting period, time to discuss current personal issues and a period to share information related to a topic. Those with a DID system are welcome but we do ask that one individual, of age, attend. The scheduled topics are available in the Tough Times folder in the forum. Members of Tough Times must be 18 or older.

MANY MINDS

Terry hosting - Tuesdays 10:00PM EST
This is a chat for individuals with Dissociative Identity Disorder. The focus of the group is to share experiences, help multiples function more effectively and to simply provide a safe space for support. Discussions have included: working with alters, dealing with flashbacks, finding co-consciousness, managing traumatic memories and coping with the effects of violence and emotional abuse. Many Minds is open to those 13 and older.

YOUTH CHAT

Lala hosting - Wednesdays 10:00PM EST
This is a chat for Littles and Middles in a Multiple Personality Disorder or DID system. The focus of the chat is to offer young alters the opportunity to share experiences and concerns in a safe, supportive environment. The format is not structured and can be playful. Discussions have included: how to deal with nightmares or flashbacks, coping when bigs are in crisis and working toward communication within the system.
