Online Health Chats - Chat with Us!

 

Welcome! Our chats are intended as a safe place for girls and young women aged 13-22 to ask questions and discuss concerns about important health issues. Our chats generally meet once a month, for an hour each, and are moderated by experts from Children's Hospital Boston.

 

If you are a teen girl or young woman with endometriosis, MRKH, or PCOS, and you are interested in joining one of our support chats, check to see if you are eligible. Please remember, however, that the chats are not meant to replace individualized professional medical care. Rather, they are a place to share support and general information.

 

Moderators who give health information are professionals at Children's Hospital Boston and are identified during chats with a professional title, i.e. Nurse, Dr., or Dietitian. Please note that any chat participant who is not identified in this way should not be considered as a medical professional. All chat participants must endeavor to disseminate only information that is true and accurate in light of their knowledge. Please review the rules for participating in our chats.

 

We hope you can join us! If you're eligible, we'll add you to the chat mailing list. The day before the chat, and again shortly before the chat, you'll receive a reminder and instructions on how to login. See you there!
