Opening up access to the Yarning Space
Hi Yarning Space members
Until now, this subcommunity has been a proof-of-concept project which means we haven't advertised it publicly and to join as you know - potential members have to sign up to the SANE forums and then request access which is a bit slow and convoluted.
We'd like to remove that barrier soon, and start to gently promote the Yarning Space so that more early-yarners can come and join in, and then also participate in the ongoing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander led-design and develpoment of this community.
We have formed an Indigenous Governance Group which is Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members only who are the governing group for this Yarning Space subforum and how it develops, and through that group and partnerships with Aboriginal-governed organisations like Thirrili, WellMob and others we will also ensure data custodianship and oversight of this space along with all social and emotional wellbeing service delivery across SANE's services has strong ongoing community codesign and governance.
Please let me know your thoughts or any concerns on the barriers to accessing this space being removed, and the potential for that to increase the membership a bit, so we have more members yarning in here and helping design how the space should function.
Thanks and @tyme if you could please tag all members of this space in for me?

Hi, I think removing the barriers is a great idea. It would be great to see these hubs being a lot more active. I know @ArraDreaming has tried to encourage people to get involved here and I think they kind of gave up after a while. It’s a shame

Hi Everyone
It's been a whilst since I've been on the community. I'm finding the cold Brissie weather a bit of a downer ( definitely a summer ☀️ gal). And there's been so much rain here lately. A friend in NSW has been heavily impacted by flooding. I hope everyone is doing ok.
