Online Therapy Institute hosted a “Virtual Town Hall Meeting” today at the Online Therapy Institute Conference Centre in Second Life. We decided Monday to go for it- Kate and DeeAnna along with John Wilson from OnlinEvents.co.uk. We wanted to talk about resources for people interested in online therapy and the influence of technology on the mental health field. In just a few days we had 25 people sign up for the free event. 
Some people viewed from th OnlinEvents.co.uk website will others came into the conference centre in Second Life. The three of us took turns talking and then we opened the floor for discussion.
