Group Support Buddy Program

Hello everyone,

Our room supporters and chat room moderators are focused on different support rooms to provide a safe, supportive, and engaging environment for all. While we appreciate their dedication and support, we identified our new room supporters and chat room moderators can receive better support and guidance while they settle in their new role.

To ensure they get the right guidance and support, we are pleased to re-introduce the “Group Support Buddy Program”. Under this, we will be pairing new room supporters with existing room supporters and new chat room moderators with existing chat room moderators for 2 weeks.

In these two weeks, the experienced leader will act as a mentor or guide for the new leader to provide guidance, answer queries, extend support and show up in the room as well to help them absorb the environment in the new role.

Who can become a buddy?

• Any room supporter who completed at least a week in the role.
• Any chatroom moderator who completed at least 2 weeks in the role

Who can seek a buddy?

• Any new room supporter or chatroom moderator will be needed to be paired with a buddy.
• Any room supporter or chatroom moderator who is not new but feel like they need one.

Here are the sign-up forms to begin the process of getting paired and willing to guide.
