Hi Everyone! My name is Rebecca Wise and I founded and direct the Transgender Resource Center in Second Life. We've been invited to participate in the Second Life Mixed Reality event being held in the Kistler Room between 10:10AM and 11:30AM on day 2 of the conference. During this event I'll speak briefly on the profound impact that Second Life has had on my own life and how the success of the Transgender Resource Center powerfully demonstrates the potential benefit that immersive online communities can have in addressing serious behavioral health issues. As time permits, I'll also share a few of the key lessons we've learned while attempting to build and manage a rapidly growing community in Second Life. 

Since our time during the mixed reality event is limited, please feel free to chat with me at any time during the conference for a more in-depth discussion on any of these topics or visit me in-world where I'm known as Jani Myriam.

Transgender Resource Center – Transgender Support in Second Life

Hi everyone! My name is Jani Myriam and it’s my great pleasure to be here on NetSquared as a representative of the Transgender Resource Center (TRC) in Second Life. Before I introduce you to our organization I’d like to first take this opportunity to thank everyone at Techsoup, Anshe Chung Studios, and the Non-Profit Commons all of whom have contributed immeasurably to our success!
