The Dale Live Chat Rooms
I get what you’re saying.
Sometimes it’s a relief to just talk with guys who know where you’re coming from. That’s what these Live Chats are all about – being able to connect in real time to discuss topics that are otherwise tricky to navigate by on your own.
IN PROGRESS
UPCOMING
There are no live chat sessions scheduled in the near future. Sign up for notifications to find out when there's a live chat coming up soon.
Dale Forums
Can’t wait to chat? I hear ya!
That’s what the Forums are for. Stigma, anxiety, depression – these aren’t easy topics. They require a bit of discussion. Plus, they have a way of weaving in a whole bunch of other issues. See what the guys are talking about.
Knowledge Base
How’d you get so smart?
Let’s face it. Nobody is born with all the answers. We learn them as we go. I’ve started to put together a few pieces of info, and I’ll be adding more along the way.
