Hey Community,
We have an upcoming Chat Break this November. If you don't know what a group chat break is, click the spoiler below.
When is the next break?
Our next break will be from Monday 24th November - Sunday 30th November. The usual group chat schedule will resume as normal on Monday 1st December.
Will there be a community quiz?
Sure, we can look at arranging a quiz. Let us know in the comments if you'd like us to run one, or if anyone wants to run one for us that would be super handy too.
Where can I go while group chat is closed?
If you'd like some support from our Community while group chat isn't running, our discussion boards will be open as normal.
If you're at breaking point, you can text THEMIX to 85258 for free and confidential 1-to-1 support. You can also head to this thread to find more crisis options if you need urgent support.
If you want somewhere like General Chat, you can always head over to our General Chat Forum, where you can find threads like general chit chat.

What is a 'group chat break'?
Roughly three times a year, we have a week or two where we take a break from running group chats.
We use these periods as a chance to gather community feedback, reflect on how things are going in the community, run volunteer training, and look at anything we might want to work on. It's also a good chance for staff, volunteers, and you, our community, to take a breather. If you use group chat often, chat breaks are a good opportunity to try new services and expand your support network too.

Hey everyone,
Reminder that our Chat Break starts tomorrow and it'll be for one week. This means there will be no General Chats, Support Chats or Support Circles during that week. However:
We will upload our Weekly Schedule as usual tomorrow to include this.
We've also had a few questions about whether the venting threads will be going live on the boards during this week and they definitely will. The Chat Breaks only affect the group chats, not our discussion boards.
The group chats will resume as usual on Monday 1st December.
