What
is a CL? CL stands for Community Leader... a Community Leader's responsibility is to monitor the board, greet new members,
keep conversations lively and interesting and help you enjoy your visit to the board
The Children’s mental Health Board:
Are you are concerned about your child's emotional well-being, behavior, mood swings
or depression? Whether your child has a formal diagnosis or a temporary issue, please join a community of other parents for
support, coping strategies and a little humor!

Netiquette:
We expect other drivers to observe the rules of the road and the same
is true as we travel through cyberspace. Here are a few pointers to help you out:
- Avoid writing
e-mail messages or posting in newsgroups using all caps.
IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE SHOUTING!
- Remember that
anything you post to our message board is public. You never know who's reading it, or who may copy it and spread it around.
Don’t put your real name, address, phone number, etc. in your messages.
