If anyone is looking for in- person support.... To find local support groups- check this site for your location

Hello Everyone - September is here and so is the cooler weather and back to routine for a few!
Perhaps it is the time to also start something new.
Looking forward to connecting again with you all once the busy time of back to school and summer holiday farewell is done. Reminder the Walk of Hope is next Sunday - check your location for times/dates confirmation. No registration fee for survivors and a great place to connect with others for support.
We'll meet up here Tuesdays at 7:00 PM CST or around the site when you can.

Hello everyone ... from a previous post @battleoflife12018 is looking for some words of support and hope to share....
"I have been asked to share my story at an upcoming event to raise awareness in my community. I am requesting any words of wisdom, hope,sisterhood, and quotes that I can share with others at this event later this month"1 -
Hello everyone,
I attended a Disability Tax Credit presentation yesterday and will post some notes shortly.
It is certainly worth looking into for your self or family member. CRA rules change all the time and it can be impossible to keep track even for the professionals dealing with this process on an everyday basis. The good news is there are people out there to help you through the process and often offer a free consultation. Yes, it can mean paperwork and your DR filling in forms - the process can be overwhelming however if you or a family member qualify for this tax credit based on the criteria (found out that also changed since I last looked at it), it is your right to claim it. I'll post more details throughout the week.

Also, wondering if you can comment about when and how you access this chat site:
- Do you go mobile on your phone or tablet or do you sit down with a cup of tea and view the comments at your desktop/laptop?
- About how often do you view or log into the chat site? (daily, weekly, monthly, other?)
- What time of day do you view or log into the site - morning, afternoons, evenings, or middle of the night when you can't sleep
? - Do you receive notifications?
Or if you prefer, you can private message them to me - I'm looking for some general stats - thank you.
Hope you all have a good week.

Good evening everyone!
I'm roaming this evening so will be late to check in at 7:00 PMCST
Hope this message finds you all doing well. I'll check back again later this evening if you have comments or questions.
I've come across another item in the coping "toolbox" - courtesy of the picking up the pieces session... hope you can find it of some use for you.
For today...- What is happening with my body?
- How am I feeling emotionally?
- When I let my thoughts wonder, what do I think about?
- Who did I connect with?
- What gave me a sense of peace?
