Butterfly Arrangement

Presenting Laura's Playground's Moderators

On April 3rd, 2004 Laura's Playground was born. Its main mission is and was to provide support for our transgendered brothers and sisters as well as to try to reduce the high suicide rate in our Community. As I built the site it quickly became apparant that I could not fulfill the sites mission alone unless I cloned myself. So I observed in the chatrooms to find the most exceptional Moderators I could find who would all work from the same set of rules for the same mission. I wanted to make this a safe site. One by one I found them. This page is dedicated to introduce those fine people who have become our staff members, All of our moderators are dedicated volunteers who work for no pay. They put in countless hours in the chat rooms and some in the Forums. Between them they have saved thousands of Transgender lives.

One of the great benefits though, have been our users. As the moderators started projecting their support it became infectious in a miraculous kind of way. In a very short period of time Support seemed to build from everyone. Even in the few hours that we are not covered by moderators, visitors of our chat rooms are overwhelmed by the support here. We also hold peer Online moderated support group meetings . More are planned.

Remember that moderators are here to provide you with a safe site to chat and they are carrying out and enforcing the rules of Laura's Playground that I put forth. They deserve nothing less then total respect and courtesy for their dedication. Please treat them right. If you need to debate the rules write to me. I wrote them, not the moderators. So don't argue with the moderators. It is reason enough to be banned.

Many of our moderators are training or have been cerified in Youth Suicide Prevention. This is the same Professional Training that suicide hotline personel recieve. We are the only Transgendered Support Web Site that provides Online Peer Counseling and Transgender Support Group Meetings, as well as suicide prevention. In addition moderator's go through a uniques course run By our "Training Director", Sharleah. If you are interested in becoming a moderator for either chat or the forums contact Karen, PetraJane or Laura.

ALL persons featured on this page are unpaid volunteers. Most have put in thousands of hours of hard work for the sole purpose of supporting you our users and our community. Only staff members who have been active within the past year are listed on this page. Others are inactive staff who are always welcome to rejoin at any time and are given special mention at the bottom of the page.

A new position here is the Chat room supervisor. Their primary job is to backup our moderators who are handling user crisis's. They are well experienced in crisis management and suicide prevention. Their crisis management skills have been invaluable. They usually are online for long shifts in the background and are always a mere shout away. While you may not always see them they are always there.
