Bookable times and on-call times

With both bookable times and on-call times, we will be splitting the time between the participants so that everyone gets a turn to be the talker. That's one reason why there is no charge for Teddy Bear Talk Support activities.

On-call times

On-call times are times when someone is making themselves available for people to do calls with them with no advance notice.

Here are the on-call times that are currently being offered:

Teddy Bear Talk Support On-call Times

Every Saturday 6:00 - 7:00 pm Eastern

Every Tuesday and Thursday from 6:50 - 7:35 pm Eastern

Call 734-237-7676 to reach Leeann Fu, the person on call during these times.

If you would like to offer times to be an on-call person, please contact Leeann Fu at teddybear@umich.edu.
