EOI: SANE Voices Newsletter edition 2!

EOI: SANE Voices Newsletter edition 2!

Hey forumites! 👋

It's time to start putting the feelers out for our second edition of the SANE Forums newsletter

If you missed our first one, our newsletter, SANE Voices is a 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. You can check out our first newsletter here.

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! We're aiming to get this next edition up in October so we have a bit of time.

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 a 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.

For some examples, our last newsletter topics included:

  • Recovery Topics
  • Advocacy
  • Birthdays
  • Fun trivia and puzzles
  • AI generated graphics of member pets
  • Crafts section
  • Culture
  • Pets

We're always open to new topics, so if you've got another idea let's get brainstorming here!

The expression of interest to join the SANE Voices newsletter working group for the second issue closes on Friday, August 22nd, 2025.

If you didn’t get the chance to contribute to the first edition we'd love to have you be apart of this one, or you’re just not feeling up to it this time around – don’t stress, the door will always be open for next time!

Of course, take your time @NightFury! You've got the week to think about it 😄

@Turbo88 Hey, I thought I'd tag you in case you were interested in being involved in making newsletter #2.

Do book reviews fit with the purpose of the newsletter @Ru-bee?

In response to: Re: EOI: SANE Voices Newsletter edition 2!

Re: EOI: SANE Voices Newsletter edition 2!

Hmm that's a good question @NightFury maybe it would depend on the angle - For example you could tie in your experience with reading the book in the review, what you did or didn't relate to, what your takeaways were etc. Or you could pick a book that you feel fits in with recovery focus.

What do you think?

In response to: Re: EOI: SANE Voices Newsletter edition 2!

Re: EOI: SANE Voices Newsletter edition 2!

@Ru-bee I could do either.

Reading is something that I lost within my mental health challenges, but have recently regained my interest in. I had a lot of brain fog and couldn't engage in something that I had always loved to do. But recently I've picked it back up again...I think with more clarity from the meds, the brain fog has faded. Personally, for me, it's about reconnecting with something that I enjoy.

But also, I read a lot of self-help, mental health recovery books, and people's experiences with mental health challenges and life's challenges in general. So, I could always go from that angle.

That's awesome that you've been able to pick it up again recently @NightFury

There could also be different angles to approach it from, we've got the week to brainstorm!

@Ru-bee recipes? There could be ones for specific dietary needs, or just something that comforts us.

No drama if it doesn't fit in with the purpose of the newsletter though 😍

Re: EOI: SANE Voices Newsletter edition 2!

Recipes could be great @ENKELI! I think that was mentioned for the last newsletter but it never eventuated so it could be a great addition to this one!

Re: EOI: SANE Voices Newsletter edition 2!

@Ru-bee @rav3n I could maybe do another one of the photo things if you think it's appropriate/good thing to do. I don't mind either way.
