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!!!

perfect, i'll see if we can make your section purple themed 💜 @Oaktree and when we add pics and stuff, we'll definitely email you to make sure you're happy with it first. it is tricky with images tho, we need to make sure they're not copyrighted and all that so we might be saving that stuff for the end 😅

This is all so exciting! Great to see all the interest already!

@Captain24 @Oaktree @creative_writer @Captain24 @MissGremlin @Bow @Clawde @Shaz51 @Blackcloud @avant-garde we're going to put together an email later on today with a bit more info on what will be involved and I'll make sure I send it out to you all 😊 I'll keep an eye on this thread too to check on any additional members who are wanting to get on board too!

@rav3n an email would be good, I might also give it some thought. I would like to hear your suggestions too 💖

You can generate images using AI

Hi.

Im not sure if its too late. Im keen to do/try something.

Im not sure on a topic tho. I like facts and knowledge base.

I could do something about latest psychology/psychiatry news.

Or it just be "science space" and just talk about cool tech or latest finding in broader science.

thanks for the tag @Shaz51 😊

and Shaz is exactly right, you're not late at all! loving those ideas - we do have another member doing something facts based for this one so maybe we can have you do that topic for a future issue. but we still would love to have you contribute to the first one - maybe the psychology/psychiatry based topic? space science also sounds interesting, we'll have a look into that too and see if we can fit it in! we'll add you to the working group and send you a general email soon 💙

Hey. I was thinking I might do an article on social media, its effect on teens with upcoming banning, and my personal experiences as a teen using social media.

I've been reading some interesting studies coming out and its a big thing across the country right now.

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

That sounds really interesting @The-red-centaur! One challenge might be the word limits for the newsletter, we're testing out have a guide of 150 words, with a max of 200 per piece (less is okay too!), especially because with this first newsletter we've got so many members wanting to contribute! I know I struggle to keep things concise sometimes, especially with topics I'm interested in! But if you want to give it go that sounds like it could be great!
