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!!!

@rav3n @Ru-bee

Things to do with pets catches my eye.

would like to help with that, if possible.

would like to know more about what would be involved

Being involved with newsletter might provide a positive to help me deal better with mix of physical pain and MH issues

One thing that we're going to need everyone's help with is choosing a name for the newsletter! Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi @rav3n - what is the format of newsletter? It is a pdf?

I could possibly submit a photo that people have to guess what is the subject of photo. It’s not really recovery focused though.

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

the format hasn't been confirmed yet, but i think it's most likely going to be a pdf @Till23 could you explain the photo idea a bit more, sounds really interesting!

also with photos it will have to be your own photo/work or AI generated images as we don't want to risk copy-right related issues.

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

Hi @rav3n it would be my own photos.

It would be an angle or close-up or whatever that means the subject is not obvious and people would need to work out what it is - it would just be a bit of a possibly fun distraction.

It’s not really recovery focused though.

It’s something I can do quickly, so would have a couple ready to go for first edition.

Hi Heartful here,

I'd like to help out, especially if there is time put aside for support.

Helping identify useful threads that exist for select topics is something i'd be interested in. I'm only new to contributing....Be gentle!

Let me know options for helping if that suits the newsletter coordinators!

Thanks,

Heartful. 😃
