Topic Tuesday // Exploring Loneliness // Tues 18 Sep, 7pm AEDT

For this Topic Tuesday, SANE Help Centre Manager @Former-Member, will be facilitating a discussion that looks at loneliness, how it feels, your thoughts and experiences. This is a topic that comes up a lot for members and with the help of the forum we can find connection, but what other strategies can be put in place? Let’s share and brainstorm together in this Topic Tuesday.

I'm new here - what is Topic Tuesday?

Topic Tuesday runs from 7pm - 9pm AEST monthly. Each month we focus on a different topic, with the session facilitated by a Community Manager or Moderator. Sometimes Topic Tuesday will feature a special guest, who is an expert in the topic.

The first post of the thread (this one) will give you an idea of what the topic is and what will be covered.

How do I get involved?

Topic Tuesday takes place right here! It's text based, so no software is needed. During the session, to keep up with the latest posts hit the 'refresh' button on your browser for the latest posts (it doesn't automatically update). Keep an eye for page numbers at the top & bottom of the page, and jump to the highest page number for the most recent post.

Throughout the session, the facilitator will put questions out for you to answer, usually asking for your own experience on the topic. To contribute to the session, just hit the 'reply' button and share your thoughts. No answers are right or wrong and everyone is welcome to get involved.

I've always thought that having a dog must help with connections @utopia. Hope it works out for you.

Goodnight @Zoe7.

Thanks for joining the discussion last night @Mezza65 @frog @TheVorticon @Yabitha @Bunniekins @TAB @Soloshiela @Liss23 @Deepsea @EK1 @Shaz51 @Teej @Jonty8 @MoonGal @Zoe7 @BlueBay @Sharman @Adge @utopia @Pinky I really enjoyed hanging out with you all.

I was going to start a new thread where we can report on our efforts to build new connections. But then I realised that next months Topic Tuesday is on creating and maintaining social connections which is the perfect place to continue the conversation.

So for those of you feeling up to the challenge, you now have a month to make a small step or two towards rebuilding or extending your social network. And then we can pick up the conversation and see how you all got on.

You can register for the conversation here and you'll get a reminder.

Good luck 🙂
