Connections provides a space for you to ask the Resource Center and trained peers questions about LGBT issues and concerns, resources, and LGBT life at AU and in DC. The chats are anonymous and allow you to get the information you need about the LGBT community.
The chats are for anyone, regardless of identity, who wants more information about the LGBT community.
This program is for those who:
** want information or resources on the LGBT community;
** want information on LGBT life at AU or in the DC area;
** are questioning their own identity and want someone to talk to in an anonymous setting;
** are looking for support and a connection at American University; OR
** have a question about something LGBT related.
The chats are for anyone, regardless of identity, who wants more information about LGBT issues and concerns or the LGBT community at AU or in DC.
The GLBTA Resource Center plans to have the chat program available for a few hours a day so please check back daily to see if we are online.
The Chat Program will only be available during our semester business hours which are as follows:
Monday & Friday = 9am - 5pm
Tuesday - Thursday = 9am - 8pm
During Finals, Winter Break, Spring Break, and Summer Break, the Chat Program will have limited availability. On any day the university is closed, the Chat Program will not be available.

The chats are facilitated by our Peer Chat Buddies, students at AU that have been trained to answer your questions. These students are not counselors, but they are able to connect you to information and resources. Additionally, a staff member from the GLBTA Resource Center will also be on the chats if you have specific questions for staff.
