Upcoming events: We want YOUR feedback

Upcoming events: We want YOUR feedback

Hello y'all,

I am so excited to annonce that we will be starting Topic Tuesdays.

This an event where we can come together online at the same time to discuss a certain topic once a month. On these nights, we will either have a guest speaker, or we will have a group discussion amongst ourselves about a topical issue that has been nominated by community members.

So what does this mean?

- On Friday, you will notice a poll appear with selections for different guest speakers. Please vote for one so we can organise guest speakers for you. If you have an idea for one that is not on the list, please let us know so we can include it in future polls by adding your idea to this thread.

- For a group discussion about topical issues (that is without a guest speaker), please also include your ideas below in this discussion thread. Some of you may be thinking what's the difference between this and a normal everyday threads? The main difference is that this is an opportunity to organise a time where we arrange a time to meet online at the same time to discuss an issue.

We've had Topic Tuesdays with guest speakers run in the Carers Forum, so if you want to see how it works and what it looks like, check it out here

I look forward to hearing your suggestions.

A few weeks ago, there was discussion about beginning a topic about getting the most out of your health care professional.

I mentioned we were going to start a thread for people to leave their tips. Maybe that could be a good Topic Tuesday discussion?

So many interesting topics being suggested!

Well that would certainly get the ball rolling on the thread (?strange mental picture here?)!

Quick, someone upload a picture of a giant ball of thread! I think rainaldo has just starred in a new ad for Woolmark Australia that features a giant ball of thread..and there was a HUGE ball of thread that featured years ago in a city of Melbourne/ visit Melbourne TV ad.. Rainaldo is a soccer player for Italy?

Would do it myself, but posting from iPad is really crappy...

Would that be Cristiano Ronaldo, Portuguese native, plays for Real Madrid in Spain, looks like a model?

Re: Upcoming events: We want YOUR feedback

Wowee, so many great ideas. Now is the tough part of deciding which ones!

Thanks so much for all your input.

Just to summarise we have had the following ideas put forward:

- The gifts of MI

- Ways to be proactive about chaning MI stigma

- Ways to relax and sharing creative pieces

- Holism

- Faith/religion as an adjunct to therapy

- How to get the most out of your therapy

There's a few there. So what I think I will do is start two seperate polls so we can decide which topics to discuss. They'll be posted shortly.

I think you are correct Batguano! I really have no clue when it comes to sport but I did read a profile article on this player being selected by Woolmark...
