Talk with other young people with illnesses and disabilities

Do you wish you could talk to others about what it’s like to deal with an illness or disability? If so, you have clicked to the right place! The links below bring you to chat rooms and e-mail listservs — on-line tools that bring young people together from around the country for support and fun. Remember — as with any on-line discussion tools such as these, ask your parents’ permission before joining. Also, check out our Safety on the Internet section for on-line safety tips.
