Emotional Support on the Internet V1.37


16 January 2006

(C) Steve Harris 2006 steveha@cix.compulink.co.uk

New: Seach Engine for this list and many more resources - see http://www.netservs.com/care/



What this list is


This is a list of resources for *emotional* support on the Internet and interconnected systems. It is intended to help you find and use these groups. Please do *not* mass mail this list for *any* reason at all.

Groups and resources with a focus on information giving, campaigning academic study or advocacy are not listed. Some groups are not listed because I know that they *can* be too rough on people seeking support. On the other hand, I have not been able to give all these groups a full "road test".

PLEASE LET ME KNOW of errors, changes etc. steveha@cix.compulink.co.uk



Anonymity and Privacy



The growth of web-based email services such as Hotmail means that anonymity is even easier than it used to be. Consider getting a free alternative email address from www.hotmail.com or www.yahoo.com just for use when using support groups.


Keeping sensitive information confidential? Encrypt your e-mail with "Pretty Good Privacy" (tm). "PGP" is a powerful engine and we supply the rest of the car! See http://www.netservs.com/pgp/



How to use this list



Find the subject in the first column. Look under several headings. Generally, you should mail the address in the second column 2 and (where listed) "say" the command shown in the body of your message.


A few of these e-mail addresses are prefixed "mailto:". With these, you are talking direct to a person rather than joining a group.

Where an address is prefixed "news:", you should use your system's normal command for joining Usenet groups. Many of these groups are in the "alt" hierarchy and you may find that your system doesn't carry the group you want. Try asking your system administrator to add the missing group.

Note: some browsers will suppress the "mailto:" and "news:" tags

Where an address is prefixed "AOL", "CIS", "CIX", "Genie", "Prodigy" or "Delphi", the group is restricted to users of the named system and you should use that system's normal command for joining a "conference", "forum" etc.

Note that references to "CIX" refer to the UK based system of that name. Even if you are not in the UK, CIX membership is possible by Telneting to cix.compulink.co.uk. They charge 29.38 pounds sign up and a monthly minimum of 7.34 pounds for which you get at least 100 minutes. On line registration by credit card. Is something similar for the other systems I mention? Please tell me!

These groups are not suitable for those who wish to argue that the particular condition does not exist. If you believe that what you have to say may upset some readers, use a "spoiler". For example, you might prefix your message:

"SPOILER: Explicit account of rape"

and put lots of blank lines between that and the main text.

These are primarily *support* groups. They *may* be good sources of information too. Let this slant influence the way you post to a group. If someone posts "Hey, I've just been diagnosed with X disease, anyone know a good doctor?", ask how badly it's affecting them and how they feel about it. Information exchange can be valuable but often the hardest thing to find is personal emotional support.



Checking the "Rules"



Be careful to read any "Welcome" message sent to you when you join a mailing list or any other source of information about local "rules". Often, what's on the list is considered confidential and expected to stay on the list. Some posters to Usenet groups maintain that they are confidential too. Given the public nature of Usenet it's more gray. Always remember these are *support* groups and not hunting grounds for those who want to "save" people. Let them be a "safe" place, safe to post a suicide note even.

Checking out the "agenda"


Almost all of these resources are self-help groups. They don't try to sell you anything. Of course, individual members may have their own agenda and occasionally you'll see blatant commercial postings - usually from outsiders.

When an *organisation* offers a resource, you're entitled to expect it to have an agenda of some sort and to be able to discover what it is. The only organisation currently listed is The Samaritans. They're a non-profit, non-religious support service for the suicidal and despairing. Their only agenda is emotional support. They don't sell anything.

There's a few other people around on the Net offering support services. With some of them, I haven't yet been able to discover their agenda. With others, at least part of their agenda is to sell you something. Now, there's nothing wrong with someone earning a living in this area but when your audience is potentially vulnerable, it's important that your agenda is easily visible. Such visibility cannot be conveyed easily in a listing such as this so that's why such resources are not here. Having said that, I'd be interested in hearing from *anybody* on this issue.

Finally, what's *my* agenda? Firstly I believe that offering people emotional support is a "Good Thing". The other half is that I sell software for email helplines. See: http://www.netservs.com/helpmail/



Quiet and Busy Groups


Some of these are very busy with dozens of messages a day. If you find that doesn't suit you, look to see if there's an alternative. It may be a cue that a *regional* group is needed if only to become manageable.

At the other end, you may find that a group seems to be dead. This can be natural, especially in a small group. It doesn't mean that the group is no good so don't let that put you off asking for support. The group may spring to life and help you and then subside.



Start your own group? Some thoughts


First of all, ask yourself why. One good answer is that you can't find what you need in an existing group. You'll probably need to devote a fair amount of effort to starting up and publicising. Starting up on your local system can be an easy step and generally allows you to control entry. However, if your subject is too narrow and/or your local system too small you might end up all alone! On the other hand, don't expect a group to be a constant hive of activity. I know several good groups with only a few dozen members where it's often quiet for weeks. When a member needs the group - it springs to life.

If you are ambitious, you'll be thinking in terms of a Usenet group. The procedure for getting a new group in the "big" hierarchies is well documented. It can be easier to start up an "alt" group - start talking to the people on alt.config. Alt groups tend not to be carried by so many sites and your coverage will be less.

Some very successful groups are based on automated mailing lists. That's how most of the resources on my list that require you to say "subscribe" work. Anonymous posting to such groups can be tricky. But see "Anonymity and Privacy" near the top. See http://www.egroups.com/ for free facilities to start a group.

Most group are self-help but The Samaritans suicide hotline in the list is modelled on the traditional telephone service. There you are talking to trained volunteers. Starting such a service is a major undertaking. See http://www.netservs.com/helpmail/ for more information.
