Combatting Loneliness - A Place for Connection
As suggested by our Community Connectors, this thread will be open for all of December as a place for general chit chat when you're feeling a bit lonely, as we know this time of year can be extra hard. There is another thread open for specifically seeking support, whereas this one is more focused on trying to connect with others and feel a bit less alone!

Re: Signpost Shoutouts
Hey everyone, its been a little while since we posted one of these, but this week we'd love to do a shout-out for our new LifeSkills self-led online course here at The Mix all about the theme of Resilience.
What is resilience?
Resilience is the capacity to recover from difficulties through self-care, collective care, and the courage to ask for help when needed. It’s also the inner strength to spring back, adapt, and keep moving forward in the face of challenge.
How do you know if you're resilient?
You seek support when you need it, turning to friends, community, or resources.
You recover from setbacks with intention, using rest, reflection, and self-care to regain balance and learn from difficulties.
You adapt and persevere, finding ways to adjust, grow, and keep going even when circumstances are difficult.

If you havn't recived this already, I will send you a DM to your inbox.
