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

Hello Everyone!

I have posted on another 'Meet the Moderators' thread but I will join in here too 🙂

I work for SANE and studying in the mental health industry, I have a love of camping trips and the beach as well as collecting cacti haha.

Look forward to getting to know everyone more on the forums,

Hi All,

Thought I would take this opportunity to introduce myself a bit...

I'm one of the Turning Point moderators who works on weekend and night shifts so get to moderate the forums then. I am a social worker and counsellor by training and have worked in mental health and alcohol&drug sectors for a long time. Have been moderating Sane for a year or so.

I have many interests including most of the arts (have performed in choir and community theatre), bush walking and the natural world, meditation and yoga. I am a wildlife carer for the little penguins around Melbourne and I have two dogs: a kelpie and a moodle. My kelpie Harley has an anxiety disorder as he was born on a puppy farm and mistreated. He is so gorgeous and loving, and has taught me so much about anxiety and learning to trust.

I have a 10 year novel project - a bit of a bucket list project. I am 6 years in and have 4 chapters written! I had better get on with it....

Re: Who's who in the zoo: Meet the moderators

Hi @Former-Member I'm quite concerned about someone we both spoke to through the night. Did you read the rest of their thread? It's hard not to worry about them. Have you had any contact since your last post there?

In response to: Re: Who's who in the zoo: Meet the moderators

Re: Who's who in the zoo: Meet the moderators

Hi @eth

Thank you for your concern. Our friend does not seem to be online at the moment and I have not read anything in the thread that would indicate that she would harm herself tonight.

Try not to worry, maybe have a break from the forum so you can rest a bit. I will keep an eye out for her.

Kind regards,

Frog
