EOI: Let's create a SANE Forums Newsletter!!!

EOI: Let's create a SANE Forums Newsletter!!!

Hey everyone!!! 👋

We want to develop an online SANE Forums newsletter for the community, created by the community. This is an opportunity for our forums members to get involved and help contribute to a recovery-focused newsletter that explores topics important to and reflective of our wonderful community here 💗

If you were around for the social chat that happened a few months ago, some of the members (they'll be tagged below) came up with a few general topics:

  • Recovery Topics
  • Advocacy
  • Birthdays
  • Fun get-to-know questions/trivia/puzzles
  • AI generated graphics and stories about forums members
  • Links to helpful threads
  • Grounding and soothing ideas
  • Recipe/crafts/garden section
  • Culture
  • Pets

We're putting out an expressions of interest to get involved - once we've got our working group, we'll contact everyone individually and support you in completing your piece for the newsletter. Once the community has written up their topics, us mods will compile them into an online newsletter format and share it with everyone at SANE! Ideally, our first issue will be published in July (so we’ve got a month to get this running!)

If you are keen on joining the newsletter working group, please send us an email (team@saneforums.org) or reply to this thread, letting us know what topic you’d be interested in contributing to. We’ll reach out to you individually to provide you with more details on what to write up.

The expression of interest to join the newsletter working group for the first issue closes on Tuesday, July 1st, 2025.

If you don’t get the chance to contribute to the first edition or you’re just not feeling up to it this time around – don’t stress, we’re looking into making this a regular occurrence (maybe a quarterly newsletter?) so there’ll be more opportunities next time!

We’re super excited to get this started! 😍

Tagging some members who were involved in the social chat brainstorm about this (from April), but everyone is welcome!!!

Re: EOI: Let's create a SANE Forums Newsletter!!!

@Blackcloud awesome! basically you can put your hand up for a topic now, and then we'll reach out to you (maybe next week) with more details on what we'd from you (i.e. we might ask you to write up to 150 words on something or ask you to collect info/images from the forum spaces, etc - depends on what topic you do).

once you've submitted to us your piece, the moderators will read through and make sure it meets our recovery-focused theme (and if it doesn't - don't stress, we'll work with you to make sure it does) and we'll paste it onto a newsletter template. once everyone's done, we'll share the newsletter with you all 💙

is there a particular topic you'd be interested in?

Re: EOI: Let's create a SANE Forums Newsletter!!!

@NightFury no stress at all! the plan is to make it a quarterly newsletter so there'll definitely be more opportunities if it's too much right now 💙

oo good question @Oaktree we're definitely thinking colour to reflect the liveliness of the community? what do you reckon?

Re: EOI: Let's create a SANE Forums Newsletter!!!

@creative_writer we'd love to have you involved! we've got some topics that no one's put their hand up for yet, so maybe when we email you - we can offer you some topics to choose from and you can see which one interests you most?

i can also see you sharing your matcha with saffron recipe and explaining how it helps... or could even share some recovery-focused thoughts on culture... etc.! just some ideas to think about 💜

Re: EOI: Let's create a SANE Forums Newsletter!!!

exactly what AuntGlow said @Captain24, you'll be okay and we're all supporting each other 💙

i reckon messing up is part of the process, i know i'm going to mess up with this too... but that's what i like about this newsletter. it's not about being perfect, but about learning, working together and having fun!
