Who Net would find out about these and disseminate the information. The various state Departments of Rehabilitation offer plans and programs for going back to school, getting home computers, earning some while maintaining disability health benefits. Who Net will share information about these by e mail. We know we are reaching people with mood swings and helping them because people tell us this. People send messages to the e mail lists about how helpful the messages have been, about their mental health diagnosis and how they are managing their symptoms.
People seem especially appreciative that the e mail messages are available all the time.
People say typing in a message helps to define the situation and that in itself relieves stress and then a quick e mail reply from another person helps even more. People say the e mail messages ease the sense of isolation. Yes, free of charge. No gross receipts. So far, what we have done has been done by volunteers with their own computers and their own Internet access accounts.
