My name is Cherie, and I am the founder of Chatergy.com and The Social Bridge Network. Here's the backstory: Twenty-four years ago, after a life-changing experience, I desperately needed to find someone who had walked a day in my shoes so that I could heal by the side of someone to whom I could relate and whom I could openly complain to. Family and friends were not enough to get me get me started on that path. For what I was looking for, I scoured the internet and networked with mental health professionals and the amount of frustration that came with my mission was mentally exhausting and highly disappointing. To no avail, and after months of doing everything I could to get me over the hump I began the journey by building the platform I had envisioned, and Chatergy was born. I knew little about coding or what building a website would involve, so I hired a team of people to bring my vision to fruition including people like myself who had already completed their complicated journey and were ready to be there for others who were just getting started. My vision was to create a platform where individuals like myself could help others without a license or degree with a deeper connection with those who reach out who struggle with life's challenging situations. I wanted to complain to someone who felt the same pain I did. I wanted to know how they approached the healing process to end the pain. Building the site as an effort to help others was a significant part of my journey. In the last few years, my journey continued as a survivor and began rebuilding the site and making improvements along the way. I would say that after more than 20 years, Chatergy.com has evolved significantly. We are striving to be the next-generation social media platform with an expanding library of services that contribute to a healthy emotional life. The site is operated by you, the members where we offer a platform to showcase your talents, skills, and experiences that aim to promote a healthy emotional lifestyle. We are interested in knowing what you want and need as the site continues to evolve. The Social Bridge Network is a Youtube channel where we engage in conversations with individuals about their worst, funniest, and most frustrating problems and solutions. You can also find our short videos on YouTube and Tik Tok, coming soon. I would like to thank our members for their continued support. This is the place where you can express your emotions, safely, and seek the guidance or help that you need from peers who have walked a day in your shoes. This is a platform for people who enjoy helping others and earning income.
