Sanctuary

This community is ran by a team of volunteers. After losing our home within a large mental health organization, we departed and set out to make our own community, using the strength, knowledge, and professional capabilities of our workforce to plant the seeds for a creation that we can be truly proud of. So, if you have no idea who we are, hi! Sanctuary is a community with a focus on mental health. Our initial team of volunteers all have experience in this type of climate, with some of us even pursuing careers within the human services umbrella (therapy, social work, etc). We are a group of people passionate about the global mental health conversation, and want to have our own positive contributions towards it. ❤️ In Sanctuary, we aim to facilitate a safe space wherein community members, like yourself, can provide peer-to-peer support to one another; those support channels can be found in our “Support” category, such as ⁠general-mental-health . In addition, our staff is here to educate, assist, and inform! In ⁠mental-health-news , you’ll be able to find updates about mental health policies and the like, with information gathered from reputable sources (SAMSHA, NAMI, NAADAC, etc) that will undergo comprehensive analysis; and we will also have a mental health support team, led by experienced crisis interventionists! SERVICES: - Journals, which can be found in the ⁠my-journal forum! - General/topical support channels, such as ⁠general-mental-health and ⁠lgbtq-plus-help ! - Direct support from our mental health team! (NOTE: Still in early development.) - Mental health resources, found under the category of the same name, such as ⁠resources ; this will consist of hotlines, names of agencies, links to databases, infographics, etc!
