Meet the moderators

Meet the moderators

Hi everyone,

As our team of moderators grow, I thought it would be good timing to create this thread so you can get to know us.

SANE Australia collaborates with organisations around Australia to provide this space. Forum moderators come from SANE and the partner organisations, bringing a variety of experiences, knowledge and backgrounds.

For those who aren't too sure what moderators do, the best way to sum it up is that we aim to ensure the community is a welcoming, productive and safe place for all.

You may see us around the place time to time. Often we lurk behind the scenes (that's not as creepy as it sounds!). We want to allow space for peers to connect with each other and believe in the power of peer to peer support.

So I will start with my introduction

I'm Nik and I'm the Community Manager at SANE Australia. My favourite colour is yellow, favourite food is avocado and could happily live on a tropical island (as long as I could watch all Manly Sea Eagles games each season).

What drives me to do this job is my strong belief in peer support and the benefits it has, and also the role technology can play in improving mental health and wellbeing.

Also.. just so you're aware.. that's not me in my profile pic

So - over to the other moderators. Perhaps you could share what organisation you're from and some random facts about yourself

Nik

Re: Meet the moderators

Hi @Shaz51 🙂

I am good, thank you!

So a bit about myself, I have just been recruited as a Help Centre Counsellor at SANE Australia. My favourite colour would have to be between pink and purple (obviously, I'm a bit of a girly-girl :P). I love Thai food - especially Massaman curry - and believe you can never go wrong with a lemon curd tart for dessert. My birthday is on the 19th of November. 🙂

As my username suggests, I am passionate about love/loving relationships (Amour) and mental health (Psyché). In that light, what drives me towards this role is my recognition that supportive/loving relationships between people - which I have seen so much of already between members of the forum - can help to improve one's mental health.

Also, I will also be Moderating tonight's Friday Feat with @Former-Member, who will then formally introduce me to the members of the forum.

Hope to see you there! 🙂

Re: Meet the moderators

Welcome @Former-Member and thankyou for introducing yourself so elegantly

You really are in for a treat tonight then - better get your running shoes on - will definitely be a baptism of fire at Friday Feast (especially because @Former-Member is there also - she is fun to try and outrun )

You are very lucky - we were going to have Christmas in July tonight but we have postponed it (mainy because I couldn't manage 3 parties in 3 days!!) - that certainly would have been interesting for you!

A few things you should know before Friday Feast then:

@NikNik likes to fly around in a giant Nutella jar

Chocolate is a food group not a treat!

The forum helicopter is available to take us wherever we would like to go.

@Phoenix_Rising is the Queen of FF and will definitely keep you on your toes with her images and humour - and more importantly she is a special little turtle and you definitely need to check in with her to see how the ocean is tonight. We all hope for calm but will sit with her if the waves start up again -just a heads up because I know she is out today but will be back in time for FF (looking out for you little turtle after invading your personal space by sitting on your nose this morning lol)

...the rest you will have to learn as you go along

Welcome again - 'see' you tonight (maybe)!

@Former-Member

Also can see the relation between your username and profile picture - Antonio Canova has some stunning work from The Louvre. French is such a beautiful language.

I love pinks and purple's too -- but mostly on the side of purple. I am quite the girly girl but act like a tom boy, so it is quite confusing for people at times.

I will try to come to the Friday Feast tonight - I have only been once before and it is a great opportunity to all come together for a while.

Hopefully will see you there

Re: Meet the moderators

Thank you @Zoe! 😄

I've been told I'm in for a treat tonight! I'm really looking forward tonight's festivities!

Yes, I can imagine you would be exhausted after running three parties in three days!

I agree with @NikNik, chocolate should be a food group!

Looking forward to meeting @Phoenix_Rising, and witnessing her humour and images. I will definitely check-in with her to see how she (the special turtle) is and how the ocean is tonight.

Thank you for your warm welcome @Zoe7! 😄

Kindest,

Amour_Et_Psyché
