Our Volunteers
We couldn't carry out our work without the hard work of our volunteers. Our volunteers do everything from the office administration to developing our databases and website and leading self-help support groups to leading our online chat and moderating the lookokfeelcrap.org forum. All their work is very valuable to us.
The board and staff are also supported by experts who sit on advisory groups.
