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

Sorry, you room around marshmallows piggy backing a puppy? I must re read your post @Former-Member

Social work is a great degree to do is'nt it. A wonderful Social worher who believes in matching addictions and self medicating in Mental ill health saw me for a long time when I first hooked up with Mr G.

Hi everyone,

Im a new moderator here at Forumland. I have been quietly watching for the last week or so, while I learn the ropes and have been really blown away by what an amazingly open and supportive space it is . So Im really looking forward to getting to know you all a bit better, and being involved in general.

Some things about me- I love reading, movies, getting out into nature, yoga, dancing, chocolate and baths. Im a night owl, so you'll most often find me moderating the after hours service...Hmm...thats all I can think of for now

Hi @Former-Member, So...you've been here 30 minutes and you've already made me giggle...which is quite a talent because today has been super stormy in my world. I have no idea what you look like...and yet I now have a super funny picture in my brain of you getting blown away.

@Former-Member ROFL. Again I am having an unbelievably bad day and again you have super made me giggle. I like you.

I think now is probably a good time to mention that I don't do change well...as in no change...ever...as in a previous psychologist wrote in her hand-over report that I really need to know in advance if my psychologist is planning to change her hairstyle because I will go into meltdown if I walk in and she looks different. So...please don't ever change your avatar. I superly duperly like that one.

Re: Meet the moderators

@Shaz51 I think you mean either "when is your birthday" or "when are your birthdays." I know, I know, I'm super annoying aren't I! 😆😆😆
