Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Hey Forumites!!

This is a space for members new and old, to gather around and help make our newer members feel welcome!

We've all been newbies ourselves at some point, and can empathise with how incredibly daunting it can be entering a new space. A lot of folks have trouble even knowing where to start, and (even though we're in the midst of improving it all) we know the forums can be a tricky space to navigate - which can make it very difficult for newbies to be able to find their footing! On top of that, joining any established community means being 'the new kid on the block', and seeing others connecting easily with established relationships can sometimes feel like we aren't welcome, or that we need to 'break in' to the conversation somehow.

Well this space aims to alleviate that pressure and help facilitate some new connections! Whether you're brand new here or you've been here since the very beginning, you're welcome to come hang out, meet some new people, reconnect with others, and maybe even make a new friend!

We will try to tag new members as they join, so help us make them feel welcome!

Here's today's newest forumites:

Tagging in our lovely bunch of Community Guides too! They're seasoned members who volunteer their time and energy towards making the forums a safe and welcoming place for everyone. We wouldn't have the community we do without their efforts and their passion! Feel free to reach out to them, they're always quite happy to help guide and support 😊

Re: Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Oh really @Shaz51? I wonder if it's cos the tags are copy-pasted too. Be a pain to have to tag everyone individually every time! Tho I suppose that's what the 'subscribe' and 'favourites' functions are for....

Re: Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!

Oi....that's a good idea, let me try and see if the tag works @Shaz51 ...I cut a pasted that tag, and it came up blue so looks good...I might try that in another thread, thanks for the idea @Shaz51

It's my first time on it... very calming. Having a good day, seeing friends, composing music and now going to a choir rehersal. Busy

@rav3n. Hi, in response to your request. I was thinking what it is like for those on the front line. Not professionals. Mum and dad, son and daughter, siblings, on their own in a quiet suburban street 'not' handling a MI/ MH crisis.

Hi @Sooth

How are you going?

Not sure what you are talking about with @rav3n but even now handling complex MH is no piece of cake.

Have a good day

I like baking but not so good at decorating. As a kid I would make my Nana a Christmas cake every year and put fondant over it but that’s as fancy as it got. I would like to learn how to decorate though. Might turn into a bit of a hobby. Good idea thanks…

@Sooth

The politicians will be online between 10am and 12pm AEDT tomorrow. Anytime before or during that time is really good. Sane are encouraging us to be online to welcome new users during that time so that they get an idea of what it’s like to be a new user on Sane forums
