Hi and welcome.
This site no longer has chat-rooms. This message board is pretty well attended and, in most cases, appeals for support and questions are answered fairly quickly.

If you want to ask more specific questions and connect with a member directly, you can use the direct message feature. On my web version, it's the envelope icon.

Also, this site has an 800 number you can call and ask to speak to a Care Consultant. Trained Social Work staff available to assist.
