Welcome to the Friends, Family and Carers Group Hub! Introduce yourself here 🙂

New here? Welcome to the SANE Friends, Family and Carers Forums! We are so happy you found us and have joined our wonderful community. There are lots of people here like you who are supporting a family member, friend or loved one, and who can understand what you might be going through and offer valuable peer support.   You may see people reaching out to share their stories, asking questions, looking for others who get it, seeking support and offering support. We hope you find this a supportive and welcoming space to be.    We want to get to know you, and introduce you to other members of the SANE Community.    To get started, you can simply post here by clicking "reply" to introduce yourself and a fun fact or two about you.    Or, you can introduce yourself to the community by starting a new discussion thread! How to do that you ask? Follow the below steps to create your first post.   Click back into the Welcome & Getting Started topic area Click the ‘New Discussion’ Button Type in a subject title Enter your post (there are some helpful tips on how you can introduce yourself below) Then click post!     You may see our Peer Support Workers welcoming new members in this space, so please reach out if you have any questions, or if we can help you get started 🙂 We are always happy to help!

Daily Check In Space

Hi Friends, Family and Carers Caring for loved ones living with complex mental health issues can be really challenging, and the carer's experience can often be overlooked and/or difficult to talk about day to day. We have created this space so that those feelings, challenges and accomplishments can be heard, and to promote carer's wellbeing and self-care.     To participate, here are 3 questions for your daily check in:       1) How are you feeling?           You can use a scale of 1-10 (1= really bad , 10= really good), if you would like to.      2) What is one thing you have struggled with, and one thing you have done well?      3) What is one nice thing you can do for yourself today?   You're welcome to check in daily, or how ever often you need to! Please just remember to be respectful and kind to each other as each of our experiences are so different.    Feel free to tag any carers you know in this space!
