As we bring this conversation to a close tonight, I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has been here! Each and every one of you represent the power of peer support in the SANE Forums Community, and why it is so beneficial. By sharing your stories, you are supporting others, and by building peer relationships we will keep learning and growing together as a community!

A huge thank you to our special guest @Former-Member for your insights, experiences and top tips- we are so lucky to have you in the SANE Peer Support team and look forward to following your example with peer support as we continue to connect and support each other on the forums. Also to @Former-Member for your insightful contributions and inspiring quotes! Blessed to work with you both. 

To those who posted tonight, a huge thank you for making this discussion special @Longingtobelong @Shaz51 @Adge @Zoe7 @Ophelia @greenspace @chibam @Former-Member @MyBrosKeeper @greenpea and to those who followed along @CrazyChick @BlueBay @Teej @Jayneinpain @Eve7.

Thank you so much for this post @Shaz51 🙂 Peer support is a learning process and in every peer relationship we are learning- mistakes are part of that learning, and what is important is how we reconnect afterwards 🙂
