Mental Health Initiative on FreeCompliments - 12/3/23 - 12/4/23
The mental health initiative on the FreeCompliments Community will use this account (fc-mentalhealth) to address and keep track of users who have received our help. We will post relevant links for the purpose of organization and write the steps we took and how we will follow up. This account will also provide support to users who require our help via curation, both for the purpose of financial assistance, and in some cases for increased visibility on various frontends.

This is a very good point, and it's one that's been discussed in depth. For background, I am a physician and aware of the importance of not practicing actions for which we're unqualified / out of our depth. One of my key points for mental health ambassadors was to recommend working with a professional in as many cases as possible, provided mental health conditions are present.
Otherwise, the primary goal of our mental health ambassadors is just to touch base and be a primary point of emotional support, rather than the final stop. We're organizing the process in a more professional manner, but in no way or form are we practicing any forms of medicine (including diagnosis, prescriptions or recommendations for prescription medications, and practice of techniques developed and intended for use by licensed professionals).
Do you mean within these specific posts from fc-mentalhealth? I know they read very clinical and dry, but that's by design. They're supposed to be purely objective bullet points. We use far more fluid language when actually talking to people - different language styles for different purposes. I never talk to people in such a dry manner lol.
A little bit more concerning for me... I saw a lot of your comments and it seems that they're filled with quite a lot of hatred and anger. I'm not going to pass judgment without context - that wouldn't be fair nor honest. Are you using this platform to vent? Are these strong emotions common for you to experience outside of Hive? Is there some major stressor or traumatic event in your life that may have caused this? (Provided you're comfortable sharing)
Yay! 🤗
