Chat Guidelines
- Questions will be posted to Twitter by AUCD. Each question will begin with an identifier such as Q1.
- Each answer should include two things: an identifier such as A1 so people know which question you're answering, and the chat hashtag #IDefineMyWellness so that all parts of the conversation can stick together.
- When you refresh your Twitter page, make sure it's set to "latest" so you see the latest tweets in the chat.
