Welcome and getting started

A goodbye from Daisydreamer, and welcome to our new leader!

A goodbye from Daisydreamer, and welcome to our new leader!

Hi there SANE Forums Community,

It's Daisydreamer here! I have been the Community Manager with SANE for the last 18 months (I still can't believe how quick that time has passed!). This community has been such an incredible space to be a part of, and I have loved getting to know each and every one of you 🙂 Your kindness, compassion and courage are 3 values that make this community the special space that it is!

The SANE Forums are unlike any other community I have been a part of, and something I wish wholeheartedly that I was involved in when I was going through the hardest parts of my recovery. I am inspired daily, and have learnt so much from the SANE Community. I am so grateful for the connections I have built here with you, and for your trust in me. I will miss you all!

In three weeks time, I am going to be moving on to a new role at SANE, which means I won't be on the forums as much as usual. My new role will still be working alongside the Community Guides and SANE volunteers, and looking at expanding and developing the Lived Experience Workforce at SANE. So I won't be far away, you will still see me around from time to time! 🙂

While I am sad to leave this incredible community, I know you are in good hands with our amazing new Community Manager. Last week we welcomed the new Community Manager of the SANE Forums @Former-Member 🙂 Having worked with @Former-Member in past, I know that she will bring so much to this community- I can't wait for you all to get to know her better!

Thank you again for welcoming me into this community and for all the conversations we have had over the last 18 months. I look forward to speaking with you and keeping you updated on SANE's Lived Experience Workforce in my new role. And of course, if you have any questions about Peer Work, Engagement or Volunteering, you are always welcome to tag me or email the team at team@saneforums.org

Sending kindness, thoughts and wishes,

Daisydreamer 🌼

Thank you so much @Eve7! 🙂 It has been such a pleasure to get to know you better in the Community Guide role this year too I am relieved I will still be involved in the Community Guide program, so will be able to keep working alongside you in my new role.

Your peer support always blows me away on the forums and the whole team were so excited to welcome you to the community guide program! The way you hold hope for others, and sit alongside others on their journey is really inspiring- we are so lucky to have you here on the forums!

Aww, thank you, @Daisydreamer !😀 I try my best.

It sounds like your new role is going to give you opportunities to make a real differance, too, so I hope you find it fulfilling.🙂

Thank you @NatureLover! I have absolutely loved getting to know you in the community guide role these last 18 months I still remember your kindness and warm welcome when I first started at SANE and how special that may my first month. This is something you do so well for other members too, and given it helped me have such a positive experience, I can just imagine how that must feel for our new members too

I look forward to keep working with you in my new role and seeing you shine as a person, a forum member, and as a community guide

Thank you so much @MDT 🙂 It has been a pleasure to get to know you and to see the amazing friendships you have formed here on the SANE Forums. I see each day how valued you are by your peers and hope that you continue to seek the support from this community of friends in your recovery 🙂

I am sure we will still speak often in my new role, and look forward to checking in from time to time 🙂

Re: A goodbye from Daisydreamer, and welcome to our new leader!

And of course to our incredible team of peer workers- you are such a light in this community! I am relieved to still be working in the lived experience workforce space where I will still get the chance to see the amazing support you provide day in and day out!

Thank you for your lovely messages @Paperdaisy @Former-Member and to all our peer workers here on the forums

Behind the scenes of the forums, the team are all such a support for each other! And I really value the friendships there and will miss the forums family

Oh dear @Daisydreamer ...what a beautiful, heart warming and kind post to read tonight 💕 The time you have spent here as our CM has been exceptional in your own kindness and compassion. You have showed a genuine regard for all and such a beautiful nature with all your interactions here ...if I can show even a little of what you have given us then my work is done 👍

I am so very pleased that your new role will be building upon all that you have already developed and believe that the peer support program will only grow and strengthen as a result. We can have a passion in a certain area but that does not always translate into action and leadership - for you it certainly does. SANE is so very lucky to have you ...and with everything you will bring to your new role and everything that you are - the program could not be in better hands 💗

The few interactions I have already had with our new CM @Former-Member give me hope going forward - I can already see that kindness and compassion and look forward to getting to know her better 🌹 (couldn't find a Grevillea so a tulip it is!! At least it is red 👍)
