Zoom Meetings and Chats

To participate in our Zoom Meetings and Chats, you must belong to our e-mail group.

By participating, you promise to maintain strict confidentiality, to treat other members with kindness and respect, and to avoid commercial self-promotion.

All our events are strictly confidential.  There is to be no recording or transcribing, in part or in whole, of any event.

Our Monthly Support Zoom Meetings last two hours and have an agenda, which is e-mailed to members before each Monthly Support Zoom Meeting.  Each Monthly Support Zoom Meeting features a discussion topic.  You can see our upcoming discussion topics if you scroll further down this Web page.  Our monthly in-person meetings continue these conversations.

Our Biweekly Zoom Chats have no agenda or discussion topics — we informally check in on one another.  Biweekly Chats last one hour and are more intimate, and less formal than our Monthly Support Meetings.

Zoom is a user-friendly video-conferencing service that is used for work, education, worship, social work, telehealth, and even virtual parties.

Before participating in your first Zoom Meeting, we suggest you download Zoom and try it out, to become familiar with it:

You can also participate in our Monthly Support Zoom Meetings and informal video chats via old-fashioned telephone.

Zoom offers helpful how-to articles and video tutorials.
