RIP, Dale Pople aka Superhero.

On Saturday July 18 we lost our brother, our mentor, our Superhero to suicide.

Please join us for this special episode. We'll talk about ways to cope with depression, how we can help others, and we'll share stories about Dale.

Tuesday, July 21st 7pm PT/10pm ET

Thank you so much to everyone for joining us in honoring and sharing stories about Old Superhero tonight. It's no surprise that our boards were so full, the list went off the screen with people wanting to chat.

In no particular order, thanks to callers Steven Fontaine/"Dusk", Brennan Cox, Vector, Zeta Zimmer, SkyMan, RazorHawk, Zero, Good Samaritan, Knight Owl, The DarkShadow, Tamerlane, Discordia, and Spectral Hawk. We also had Patrioteer, Wolf Paradox, Masa Cloud and a few others hanging in the chat room for some time, despite our ongoing audio issues.

 

Thank you again, everybody, and take care.

Sleep? What's that??

Are you having strange dreams? Is your anxiety/depression/fear a constant companion? Do you (now more than ever) want to go outside for a homeless outreach event or patrol? 
You're not alone. 

We've invited one of our favorite psychologists, Dr. Avrille Polack to join us. We'll discuss ways to help you cope while still trying to save the world. Another great episode for RLSH and all you other heroes. 

For National Superhero Day, The International Hero Cooperative is running a fundraiser for Support For Families Of Children With Disabilities. This nonprofit helps “ensure that families of children with any kind of disability or special health care need have the knowledge and support to make informed choices that enhance their children''s development and well being”.

This foundation provides free services to affected families by providing clinics, support groups, training, fun developmental activities for disabled children, etc. They are based in San Francisco, California, but help families throughout the entire state.

Spectral Hawk and the other admin in the IHC (Beacon, Black Mantis, and Löwenhardt) chose this particular charity as their research indicates the Covid-19 Pandemic has heavily impacted those with disabilities. Unfortunately, these foundations are being hit hard by the virus and are not receiving the funding necessary to maintain their mission due to the virus.

Please consider donating to this amazing foundation to help support their mission during these difficult times. Thank you!

Everywhere you look, there are instructions on how to help yourself and others during this pandemic. But where can you find advice and information on what to do when you're used to being the one who helps? WHO HELPS THE HELPERS?

In this special episode, Rock, Impact, and 'Bug will discuss how to make/find survival essentials, whether RLSH should even continue patrolling during this time, and we'll do a check-in to see how RLSH are handling the quarantine in their areas.

Tune in Tuesday, March 24th @ 7pm PT/10pm ET!

It's "Avengers, Assemble!" 

Not, "Avengers, Assemble when you get your costume together, or raise $200 for outreach supplies, or get more teammates, or ..."

You've got problems, sure. Who doesn't? But what are some real-life superheroes doing that keeps them able to help their communities (even when they're broke, depressed, alone, etc.)? 

In this episode, we're inviting you to bring your reasons/roadblocks and we're inviting our fellow RLSH to bring suggestions and solutions. Let's work this out and strengthen our hero game!

Tuesday, March 10 at7 PM PST
