Topic Tuesday // Let's Chat: Safer Internet Day // Tues 8th February, 7:00-8:30PM AEDT

Hi SANE Lived Experience Forum,

The 8th of February is Safer Internet Day; a national awareness day to promote safety online. We are online more now than ever in history, accessing the internet for work, education, social connection, support, information, gaming.... the list goes on!

Part of using the internet is knowing how to do so safely so our experience is free from cyber crime, cyber bullying, and allows us to get the most out of technology.

As an online community, we rely on the internet to connect with each other, share experiences and seek help. Let's chat together about safety online, and how we can look after ourselves and others when using the internet.

Safer Internet Day 2022

This year's theme for Safer Internet Day is Play it Fair Online which is all about the actions we can take online to ensure safety for ourselves and others.

Join the SANE Forums Community as we talk about things we can do to improve internet safety, and share your online experiences. By the end of this discussion, we hope to create a resource for our community for safer internet day based on your contributions!

Tips from the e-safety commission

We are having some really important conversations here! So I am going to post the next question

Question 3: When we think about online spaces that feel kind and respectful, what sorts of behaviours and communication are we seeing in those spaces? What makes an online space feel welcoming and respectful?

@CrazyChick

Your situation sounds really hard as you're obviously using the forum to get support. I'm very new to using any of these forums myself and even finding out infomation from Sane.org or open door but I wonder if for the moment the best support for personal concerns for you would be via phone chatting

  • support in navigating the environment.
  • Acknowledgement of the information that is offered
  • appropriate offers of assistance
  • welcoming and introduction to others {as appropriate}

@Daisydreamer @Former-Member @HenryX @CrazyChick @RandleMcMurphy
Being given help on how to use the forum as HenryX gave me (who's quite technology challenged) feels welcoming and respectful.
