User:Amethyst DeFarge/Mental Mentors

Mental Mentors is a group created by Mentors for Mentors.

Mentals is the brain child of JayJay Talamasca, Kai Sachertorte and a group of Mentors who worked together on what was then one of only two Help Islands.

In truth the group came about largely due to our frustration at the limitations placed on the main mentor IM channel due to its size and the necessity of its strict guidelines.

So Mentals was born, we decided we needed a channel of our own where we could ask questions offer help and generally talk about whatever.. and spam, to vent, joke and share ideas and problems above and beyond mentor issues.

Within months we had grown to have over 200 members, now it is closer to 600 and still growing with the influx of newly trained volunteers.
