Afternoon everyone,

Tonight we have Support Chat and General Chat running from 8-9:30pm.

Support Chat: A place to talk about anything on your mind in a safe, supportive environment. Geena and Alessi will be modding.

General Chat: A place for more light-hearted chat about pretty much anything be it TV, music, the weather, that hilarious video you saw on YouTube etc. Laine and Sand will be modding.

*****
New to the community? Go here to find all the info you'll need about group chat.

You can find the 'join' links on this page once the sessions open. When you click 'join' for a session, you'll be taken through to our lobby area, from which you can access all the open rooms.

*****

Keep safe :)

Mike & the team


We're @Aife, @Ella, @Emma_, @Gemma, and @JustV - the staff team here at The Mix.

Our DMs are monitored Monday - Friday (10am - 6pm) with limited cover on weekends. We have a great team of moderators looking after the community outside of those hours to check in on any reported posts.

We're not able to provide support on this account. If you need support urgently for any reason, please call 999, go to your nearest A&E or contact Crisis Messenger by texting THEMIX to 85258.

    @davcr0ck , they got the support and general chat mods mixed up
    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    Poor @Mike
    I can tell the heat has gotten into you. I guess that support chat mods can also do general chats but general can't do support.

    I don't remember doing my SC training Mike ;)

    All mods are correct folks,  just the other way around. Me and sand look forward to seeing you in GC :)

    I am surprised that Mike and Ed are not brothers. Who was first to notice out of the community team? Probably Aife. Sorry if I am wrong or if I am being rude for making assumptions.

    Could you look at doing daytime group chats? As I can’t make night time and need to talk about things?
  • LaineLaine Deactivated Posts: 2,762 Boards Guru
    Hey animal :) 

    This is something to talk to @The Mix about .They will get back to you on whether it's possible, it's tricky because people and mods may not be free during day :)

    I just wanted to pop by and say there are other services the mix has to offer you could look into,  such as 1-2-1 chat,  etc look on the "speak to the team" section of get support x

    Ok thanks you have tagged the  mix here so will they come back here? I want support in the groups but too late at night

    Thanks for this feedback @animallover20. :)

    The timings for group chat are currently made to be early enough for folks not to be asleep, but late enough for most people (community members and volunteer moderators) to be home from work or education. If we see more of a demand for daytime sessions later down the line then that's something we can consider, but at the moment we're not looking to change the schedule.

    If you'd like a space to get support during the day, these discussion boards are open 24/7 and as again as @Laine said, The Mix has various other services that might be of interest, including counselling, a crisis text service, and a 1-2-1 helpline (reachable by phone, email or webchat).

    This feedback is useful though for us to think about though @animallover20 , so thanks for sharing it. I hope you manage to find what you need.

    Mike & the team

    PS, tagging someone gives them a notification, so that's generally the best way to let us know if you want our input in something :)
