SANE Voices Newsletter - Edition #1

@rav3n It is a brilliant newsletter. If possible I’d love a PDF copy it will help a lot with me being able to read it.

I have no idea what the image is LOL.

@Cuddlebear @rav3n @Ainjoule

My only guess for the image pg 9 is a stack (or, two actually next to each other) of disposable coffee cups - like at a cafe.

But maybe ive been chatting to people about coffee too much here and that's messing my brain 🤣🤣🤣

@rav3n

I loved the newsletter.
Well done to everyone who helped produce it!

Thanks to the staff as well for pulling it all together.

of course, happy to send that through @Cuddlebear i've just emailed you a copy now 💙

@Ainjoule @AlwaysMyself those are some good guesses! i'm trying so hard not to just reveal the answer haha, but maybe i'll give others a lil chance to guess too and then tag yall when we share the answer 😀

@Oaktree no worries at all, we loved watching this come to life. looking forward to the next one already!! 😊

@rav3n Thank you! It’s in my inbox yay! 🥳 How are you? I hope Friday night is treating you well.

@rav3n I have no idea what the close up is! I am so not creative when it comes to things like that but I am interested in knowing what it is 🙂

yayay!! @Cuddlebear i've been good, got to catch some lovely sunshine yesterday! i've also started working on legos which has been fun and soothing for me. how've you been?

correct me if i'm wrong, but did you try out an art therapy session recently?

@ENKELI i'll definitely tag ya when we reveal the answers 😎

@rav3n Hello how are you? There’s been some nice sunshine in Victoria. Today it’s nice and sunny here with a top of 18. I’m on the porch with a coffee getting some nice warm rays.

What are you making with the Lego? It sounds like a good creative activity to relax. It’s great you’ve chosen it as it really helps the brain too and builds good skills.

Yes I started art therapy two weeks ago. My second session is today later this afternoon. I go every second week and it is one on one. I found the first session to be really good. The art therapist is really lovely and because we are starting out we are getting to know one another too. We did some art therapy which helped me during the session. It provided some relief from the physical symptoms I experience and I was able to express how I feel through the art I was going. The therapist helped by being organised and choosing a really good art activity. All in all it was good and I think it will help.

18 for Vic is pretty nice, hope you enjoyed the sun! i need to have my coffee soon too, what sort of coffee do you like? @Cuddlebear how are you feeling this week?

i tend to fidget a lot with my hands so it's nice to be able to put them to use with legos instead! i've been buying harry potter-themed ones - so far i've completed a flying car one and a phoenix one. the next one will be the 'knight bus' which is a purple triple-decker bus.

glad that the art therapy session went well!! it sounds like a really nice release, i'd love to try it out one day. what sort of art activities do you do? having a great teacher just makes it even better, i hope you have a lovely time at your second session today!
