New Forum Spaces for Veterans and Veteran Families Coming Soon

[Ru-bee]

In an exciting new partnership with Open Arms and Phoenix Australia, SANE forums will be offering two forum Spaces tailored specifically for Veteran and Veteran families.  

These spaces will give veterans and their families a purposeful space to discuss mental health and other things that are important to them, where other veterans and families can provide support and guidance. 

There won't be any impact on the rest of the forums and you will still have access to all your favourite spaces and threads. the only difference you may notice is a couple of new spaces in the spaces section. There will also be a small increase to our moderation team and coverage to cover the new spaces as well.

While the new spaces will be open to all veterans and currently serving ADF members, and their families and carers, they will also be part of our community so please make them welcome if you see any new members joining in.  

Please be sure to let anyone know who you think might benefit from these new spaces so that they can check them out once they are up and running.

If you have any questions about the new spaces, please contact the forum team on team@saneforums.org or ask us here

Thank you.

How is this different from the current veterans hub?

I'm excited to see how this space evolves! I'll be hanging out a decent amount in this new space, so please say hi if you (virtually) see me around more ✌️

I'm so glad this is happening @Ru-bee 

I had never heard of SANE or Phoenix before a friend told me, so thank you!

Hello forums community,

We wanted to provide a quick update on this new space as you may see some media from noon today (AEST) about the spaces being launched. 

This is very exciting and as a result we will have some new users joining the spaces and forums over the next few weeks so make them welcome, and if you know any veterans or family members who may benefit, please invite them in to check it out!

The opening of these new spaces is a SANE program with funding from Open Arms but all the same forum privacy and confidentiality rules apply.

Again, if you have any questions reach out to us via email or on here
