Hi @Questonian and welcome to the forums! I'm so happy that you found it! I'm a Community Guide here on the forums and I'm one of many who you can ask questions about things on the forums. One of these ways is having a look over the Community guidelines so that you can know and learn about the rules and things of being on the forums like anonymity and disclosure and what's expected from forum members. By using the @@function you can tag members or type things in and a drop box will come down for you to select what you need. I hope this helps!
We also have many wonderful different topics depending on your interests like All Things Sport... or animal posts like EVERYTHING DOGS for example or a general good morning post called Good morning.
You might like to post three interesting things about yourself so members can get to know you a bit more. For myself, it's craft hobbies, sports and taking photos.
Anyhow, welcome again to the forums and I hope to see you here on the forums.

Hello @Questonian
Welcome to the forums.
It is a very supportive and caring place and can normally always find someone around to talk too.
Seems like you have lots of experience in mental health which is great.
Again welcome 😁😁
