Okay for everyone joining in and those who have already arrived @Shaz51 @outlander @whatsinaname @Adge @BlueBay
The first question for tonight is centered around the idea of values.
What values do you think are the most important for our online peer support community? For example, some might say respect between members; or holding space for their peers to feel heard.
What is an important value for you within online peer support?

Hi @Former-Member
for me I feel respect. Respect each other We are all dealing and coping with our mental illness in different ways.
Also answer direct questions to another forum member. Ignoring the questions is totally invalidating the person. Very hard to accept.

Nice one @MDT so the value of kind of giving a fellow forum member "benefit of the doubt"?

Yes respect is a really core basis and probably requires more consideration in an online environment @BlueBay Thank you for sharing. Sometimes it can be tricky in online communities where people use the platform differently, i.e. some people may not check their notifications or may forget to respond. Can be challenging - thank you for raising this one.
