Other Sources of Online or Phone Support
Please note that our listing other organizations as a source for additional on-line groups does NOT mean we are necessarily familiar with the organization or the quality of their groups. We have no control over the content or quality of groups that we do not facilitate. If you have concerns with the quality or content of another organization’s groups, please e-mail them directly.
We used to incorporate specific groups operated by other organizations into a fuller listing on our site, but found the groups were changing so rapidly that we couldn’t keep up with all the changes. We understand that many really valued that fuller listing, but it felt harmful to continue to offer that level of detail when it meant that people were too often trying to join groups that no longer existed.
