A forum is an online space where people can come together to exchange ideas, share experiences, and provide support. It serves as a hub for discussions, allowing users to ask questions, offer advice, and engage in meaningful conversations. The Layoff Support Union’s forum is hosted externally by a dedicated provider using the Discourse platform. Discourse is a robust and feature-rich forum software that offers advanced functionalities beyond what WordPress can provide. By hosting the forum externally, backups, maintenance, and updates are automatically managed, ensuring a seamless and reliable experience for users. This decision also makes it easier to maintain the forum as a long-term resource, even if the main site migrates to another platform in the future. When you click “Go to Forum,” the discussion space will open in a new tab, giving you instant access to a supportive community.

If the forum is displayed in the same tab instead of a new one, simply click your browser’s back arrow to return to this site.
