FEBRUARY 24, 2019

The goal of these meetings is to share experiences, ideas, learn from each other and offer support. Each meeting will be based on a theme, which will be selected by popular vote.

Will you join our very own MEBO Mental Health Director, Crissan Rosalia, Health Psychologist, MSc., on Sunday, February 24, 2019, for the first of many bimonthly online Support Group Meetings? Please join me in this very exciting event in which we can raise questions, share experiences and learn from Crissan and each other as we move forward in our quest to find solutions to TMAU, PATM, and other malodor conditions, which we are currently exploring through research. Crissan will host this and future free online support group for the MEBO, Facebook and RareConnect groups.

Themes can vary from dealing with coworkers, family members, relationships, stress, anxiety, depression etc.

Those who are comfortable with joining in on the conversation with headsets and microphones and do so. Those who prefer to be more private can use the site's chat to participate in discussions or they may opt to just simply listen in.

The following is a message from Crissan to our community explaining her program:

Online support meetings for mental health support

I can offer professional advice and share coping techniques during these meetings, but I believe that we all can learn from each other so the focus will be more on the overall group experience. So everyone can contribute with advice and ideas!

Starting from February I would like to host free online support group meetings for the MEBO, Facebook and Rareconnect groups. Sufferers with TMAU, PATM and other malodor conditions are welcome to attend these meetings. These meetings will be held every two months.

The goal of these meetings is to share experiences, ideas, learn from each other and offer support. Each meeting will be based on a theme, which will be selected by popular vote. So you guys vote and the theme which gets the most votes wins and will be discussed.

We are also looking for volunteers who would like to host weekly meetings in a smaller setting.

Where to go to join the meeting,

With regards to large meetings taking place every two months, these will be held on Zoom, a private conference call program. Only people who have access and have the meeting password will be admitted. You can attend the meeting with an anonymous name. Camera and headset is preferred but not a requirement. If you want to stay private and just listen in, that would also be okay. We highly value and respect your privacy. Questions can be asked by unmuting your mic or typing in the Q & A box.

Zoom only allows 45 minute calls, so the first part of the meeting will last for 45 minutes. After taking a short break, we can continue with the next part. The limit for each meeting is 100 participants, so it’s important to enroll on time. The language spoken in the meetings is English.

I would be happy to hear what you think about this:

So can you please share:

1. If you are interested in attending such meetings. ( send me an email at c.rosalia@meboresearch.org)
2. Which theme would you pick for the first meeting? (Please vote and send the theme of your choice to c.rosalia@meboresearch.org, the choices for the first meeting are a) Coping with Anxiety b) Coping with family members c) How to stay positive and hopeful).
3. If you would like to volunteer by hosting a weekly support meeting for smaller groups. (send me an email at c.rosalia@meboresearch.org)

Kind regards,

Crissan

So, please join Crissan and me in this very worthwhile and informative session. The following meeting will not be until April, so don't wait until then to get the info you want to be discuss. Come join us!
