Hope 4 Hurting Kids Chat Rooms

Chat Rooms

We are excited here at Hope 4 Hurting Kids today to announce the official launch of our Chat Rooms for helping kids and teens to deal with difficult issues and emotions.

At Hope 4 Hurting Kids, we exist to help two distinct groups of people:

  1. Young people who are experiencing hurt, pain and adversity; and
  2. Adults who work with and love those kids (this includes parents, teachers, children’s and youth ministry workers, coaches, grandparents, friends and anyone else who cares for these kids and wants to help).

These chat rooms are our attempt to offer hurting kids a vehicles for talking to others about the issues they are facing, finding others who are in similar circumstances and getting help from caring adults. To that end, we have introduced chat rooms covering the following categories:

As word spreads and these chat rooms grow more popular, we hope that a community of hope and support will form surrounding these rooms. Additionally, while the rooms are not monitored 24/7, we do check them frequently. So, if no one’s around feel free to leave a question or comment and someone will get back to you in the room.

Due to the sensitive nature of the issues being discussed in these rooms, we have developed some strict guidelines for their use, this and other information can be found on the Hope 4 Hurting Kids Chat Room Page. Whether you are a young person dealing with life’s difficulties, a parent who have questions about your hurting kids or a caring adult who just wants to help, we invite you to participate in our chat rooms and let your voice be heard.
