Stickies!
 

So, there are a lot of new things going around the site now and we've got the Community Team working their butts off to make changes. And now the changes are coming here.

We're going to be revamping the stickies in here and one of them is going to be a Abuse and Bullying Information Packet.

So, we thought that we would come to you all. Here is a list of the articles that we will either write ourselves or that you could write. This is for you guys, and for new people who haven't shown up yet. This is stuff you have dealt with and have been through. You know this stuff.

So, here's the list:
- If you are at risk of assault/if you have just been assaulted
- If you are being bullied
- If you are in an abusive situation
- Common reactions to abuse
- Dealing with flashbacks/nightmares
- Surviving abuse anniversaries
- Coming to terms with abuse (ie. self-perception, moving on)
- Self Esteem

If you want to volunteer to write anything or part of something, pm either Euphoria Blossom or myself. Or you could just write the article and them pm that to us.

Alternately, if you see something missing from this list that you think needs writing up, let us know!

*bumps*

I like the list.


I could pssibly write something (got a lot of free time at the moment), not sure which... but basically let me know if something needs writting and I'll give it a go

Shadow-light, so far everything on the list needs writing up.

So... pick something you feel comfy with!

I would offer to write something but I am rubbish at those sorts of things >.<

Katy - anything like spelling or grammar or paragraphs can be edited before adding, so if you'd like to write or contribute to any section, go ahead! It won't be rubbish, you're doing us all a really great thing. :D

Are any of the things I gave before going to be put up?

I think some of them are going to be adapted into articles when everything has been sorted and then put up on the main site, Tracie. :) But that's not my 'area' so I'll have to check, and they can be adapted into parts of the sticky or linked within the sticky too, I think.

Okay. And I think there have been some posts (Chrissyann made some) that should be stickied, about flashbacks and how getting help really does help!

Yeah, we'll use stuff from before.

However, ideally, there will be one informational sticky, one about how to label threads, and one about what to post.

So, the information will be included, however, it'll be all together in one easy-to-find place.

Wasn;t there a thread about flashback dealings with made by Chrissy? (Chrissyann)

Maybe we could use that?

what about a basic "what is abuse?" at the beginning. maybe it is just me but there still seem to be alot of "x happened to me, is this abuse?" posts.

just wanted to bump this up to make sure people havne't forgotten about it lol


I have tomorrow pritty much free so may do some writing for it

bump =]

Just to let you guys know I've had a namechange, so PM this username and don't try and find "Euphoria Blossom" because well yes =P

*bumpity*

*bumps*

I hope i'd be able to help

I'm thinking of writing something xxxx
