The chat rooms are to share experiences, meet new people, get support and information about brain injury. The chat rooms are open to Brain Injury survivors, caregivers, families and friends. Our priorities are helping people in need and providing a fun positive environment for chatters.

The simplest way to say it is TBIChat is about helping and supporting. We work to keep the room positive and respectful. If you want to see that spelled out more specifically, see TBIChat Community Standards.

We have several standing chat rooms:
#tbichat ...our main chatroom for everyone
#carechat ...caregivers room
#welcome ...for newcomers
#popups ...for fun with graphics in IRC programs

Our rules, simply...TBIChat main room is for everyone:
1. G rated (general) chat for language. no swearing or abusive talk.
2. take non G or personal discussions to side room or to Private chat
3. we welcome & assist Newcomers and give them opportunity to share
4. have fun and remember we may need to help someone at anytime here in chat.
5. if you have a problem or concern, please write to: admin@tbihome.org
