Time to bump this thread again I think.

[elsiegee40]

It’s World Mental Health Day tomorrow. Don’t struggle. There’s no shame in needing help.

 

This thread is stickied in the General Chat AND the Employment Advice forums to make it easy to find.

With Christmas rapidly approaching ... and especially in the wake of the most recent announcement... this thread needs a bump Edited December 20, 2020 by elsiegee40

[elsiegee40]

Time for another

[elsiegee40]

in case anyone is in need.

Christmas isn’t a good time for everyone, so here’s a reminder that there are people available to offer support even today
