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

Haha I was 'warned' about your good memory @Shaz51!

Sorry to read things have been tough for you...It sounds like it's been a juggling act between all the important people in your life. Not an easy thing to pull off. But one step at a time sounds like a good plan!

Sorry the chat got cut off...It may have been a technical error on our part...if it happens again do try to reach out on the phones as well.

Take care of yourself Shaz!

Re: Meet the moderators

I'm afraid my memory is pretty terrible @Shaz51 so I can't remember!

Thanks for the well wishes. Things tend to work themselves out somehow...maybe just not the way we predicted!

I had a dream : it was night and I was sleeping my nights in the middle of the ‘ downtown,’ actually near police quarters and some businesses. I was walking around. There was a few people around. They didn’t notice me.
