@tyme I can see why they give you that confidence to take into the world, that is great!

A lot of thought going into the questions and timing too.

We are all so different with our comfort zones in communicating. I am the opposite, I am far better at face to face and phone communication and find text difficult

It's great the forums give you clarity to talk the thoughts and text based communication works for you😊

That's really really interesting! Most who come to the forums much prefer text based communication. This is because we have other services in SANE which involve spoken communication as part of recovery including our Recovery Club and Guided Service.

@tyme

Can you tell me more about what Sane offers apart from the forums?

SANE has:

- the 1800 187 263 helpline

- Recovery Club

- Guided Service

- stigma watch

- research

We are working on:

- Veterans' program

- webchat

- Community Guide/Peer Guide program

@tyme

What kind of advocacy does Sane do?

@tyme @MJG017

Hi Tyme,

Is it possible as a member of the forums already to get a gig as a peer guide? I think both @MJG017 and I would be interested. We would probably have to change usernames for that right?

We don't know yet @Oaktree . The program hasn't been revamped since the last few cohorts completed the program.

We are looking at revamping both the peer guide and community guide program, but we are not sure which direction it will take as yet.

I'll keep you in the loop.

As for advocacy, I there are projects happening all over. Stigma watch is one of our biggest ones.

@ArraDreaming

I know that you have to apply. I was just asking a general question. I am asking about Sane’s other services because I am interested in what else Sane does
