Hi @Ru-bee . Thanks for the great response to my suggestion about knitting. I’m so glad you think it’s relevant and appropriate for the newsletter- it’s definitely given me a confidence boost which I really needed right now. I’ll look at doing the article this weekend as I’ve received the email a few days ago. I’ll also include the beanie pattern and relevant references as well. Can you just confirm the email for the article to be sent to please or how I send the article to you? Thanks!
I was just thinking about other potential topics for an upcoming magazine that may be suitable such as:
- A coping toolkit/ sensory box to list items to help people in distress like fidget toys, aromatherapy oils, something soft, etc. My housemate/best friend is currently putting her own kit together to help her with times of anxiety and stress and I’ve also learnt about this at my recent PARCS stay as they believe it can be helpful for mental health recovery and illness.
- I like the music/songs idea! I often use music to help me with my mental health issues and have several playlists on my phone to utilise during times I need them. It would be very interesting to read what songs forum members like and enjoy and which help them!
- Maybe a list of books that forum members have found to be helpful with their mental health journey and recovery?
Take care!
