Hello Peer Guides 🙂

[Ilovepenguins]

Ohhhh @Shaz51 I'm getting so lost on the forums now they have changed! I tried to keep up but with everything going on at home, I found my phone or anything other than my assessments to be the last place I visited 😔

I also didn't get really important notifications about things I could have been involved in, like the weekly chats 😔 I can see I was tagged but I didn't know about them 🤷🏼‍♀️

And I've only just found out that @Bon_courage has moved on from Sane 😭 can't lie, that made me tear up a little! I didn't get to say good bye! Or tell him that I was smashing my cert IV course...which I completed today as well 😁 

Now I'm not sure who I can use as a reference for the training and volunteer placement I did with Sane in the peer guide program 🤷🏼‍♀️I had an interview for a peer support position today! @tyme is this still a thing? Other than my fabulous community services teacher, I don't have another recent or relevant reference 😞

@Ilovepenguins 

Sending you lots of understanding hugs my friend 🧡 

Yes the forum layout if a bit different and it does take a lot of time to get used too

And with all your studying ect , it can feel overwhelming 

Hope you were able to get some sleep last night 

It ia hard to see members come and go , i have been here for 9 years now 

@tyme is back on today 

And I will also tag @RachSANECEO and @espressologic for you

Hey @Shaz51! Thank you for checking in — I'm still here! 😊

How have you been? That's amazing that you've been here for 9yrs, good on you!! You are a true asset to the Forum community 🧡

I'm sorry to see that you've had a lot going on @Ilovepenguins, but that's great that you're giving yourself the credit you deserve for remaining stable throughout.

And congratulations on completing your course! 🥳🎉 I have also completed the CIV in Community Services and absolutely loved doing it. And it is a shame that we have lost @Bon_courage… I hope that you can sort out another reference, and that your job interview went well! 

I'm really keen to do the CIV Mental Health Peer Work next year.

Hope all is well for everyone that's still here and for those that just log on from time to time.
