A Chester man with great experience in building online peer groups is now lending a hand to friends and collegues who need help perhaps more than ever.
Edward Chatlos, who has friends and collegues suffering from PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and brain tumors, is lending a hand by way of setting up “peer-based virtual support environments.” These online environments allow participants – those suffering from PTSD and brain tumors – to communicate and bond with each other, and speak about concerns and successes with respect to their condition.

Four people from the Drakestown church went, joined by 10 from the Butzville United Methodist Church.
