The FreeCompliments community mental health initiative will use this account (fc-mentalhealth) to approach and follow up with users who have received our help. We will post relevant links for organizational purposes and write down the steps we take and how we will follow up. This account will also provide support to users who need our help through curation, both for financial assistance purposes and, in some cases, to increase visibility across various frontends.
