🟧 MEGATHREAD | The Mix's merger with Mental Health Innovations (info, support groups, your data)

JustV

We have a lot of pinned posts right now about the The Mix's merger with MHI. To make our lives easier I've bundled everything into a megathread so you can find all the info you need.

To avoid confusion I've unpinned all the threads linked below, but you can still comment on them!

Here's what you need to know:

• The Mix is merging with Mental Health Innovations (also referred to as MHI)
  
• Deadline passed Action required! Opt-in by 11:00am on the 26th Oct to keep your boards account and data
• Support Groups are taking a break from Monday 16th Sept - Sunday 6th Oct
  
• Upcoming data cleaning (pruning old accounts and posts)
  

I also want to reassure everyone that, although change is happening right now, The Mix has been through a merger before and we're working as hard as we can to make sure it goes smoothly. 😊

You may have heard from us via email, asking you to opt-in to various things. The more involved you are with The Mix, the more of these you'll see. For example, if you volunteer, you're in a Youth Voice group, or you're subscribed to our newsletters, you'll get separate emails for those things.

Basically, it might look more complicated than it is... 😝

For anyone wondering, the opt-in process for transferring your data hasn't started yet. We'll have an update on that for y'all soon - don't worry about it too much for now.

Still the case - updates to come. Our legal team are dotting the I's and crossing the T's.

I was thinking, Is the mix gonna stay with the age limit/range of 13 - 25? Or is it going to change because isn't shout any age?

No plans to change this right now @Chloe234 - even though we've merged with Shout, The Mix's expertise are still almost entirely in the area of youth so we're chilling here for now.
