| Resource Library | Chat | Posts |
| We scoured the internet and compiled a comprehensive searchable library of linked articles, infographics, videos and podcasts regarding roughly 100 different topics of interest to survivors. Note, although these items appear to reside on Tail of the Bell sites, they are merely links to the original source made possible through Breezio's software and may possibly be downloadable per the sources copyright stipulations. Survivors have the ability to comment on an item inline or at-article-end and also discuss with other survivors via the chat or posts features. Therapists may access the information but may not post comments or interact with members within the community. |
Members may opt to interact with other members via The YANA Village's chat feature. Like other chat platforms, text-based messages may be submitted back and forth between community members and are not visible to other members. You are in control of your profile and may highlight topics that you are interested in communicating with other members. You may also opt not to accept or participate in chats. |
Posts come from two sources. Tail of the Bell facilitates daily posts around a monthly theme and weekly sub-topics. See sample week for a list of planned monthly themes and our weekly content structure.
