The CCNNM chat room is an online service that allows up to 20 users that are logged in to have a real-time, online conversation via the Internet. Chatting is an informal electronic communication form either between two users (one-to-one chat) or many users simultaneously (many-to-many). The purpose of the CCNNM chat room is to discuss questions and issues concerning domestic violence. During the hours of operation a counselor will be online to have moderated private and/or public conversations. We ask that you be courteous and refrain from "bad" language.
After clicking the "CHAT now" icon you will asked to Login (see below) either to register or sign on as a guest. If you are registered you can use the same login and nickname for future sessions. Most people will login as guests by clicking the >>Guest Login button.
