I hear many of your questions and I acknowledge change and transitions can be unsettling for many @ArraDreaming .
Since re-branding, there has been a lot of work done on our Guided Service. We are continually opening our services to new PHNs which means we have influxes of participants wanting to join. Hence you may have seen more new members on the forums lately.
We are also in the planning stages of our peer pathways program which aims to equip those with lived experience the skills to move into paid peer work.
On Monday, for International Volunteers' Day, we held a catchup afternoon tea for CGs, Peer Ambassadors and volunteers across our services.
We are also making changes to our groups including webinars, Topic Tuesdays, Peer Group chats etc.
So yes, there is certainly a lot of change happening behind the scenes which also means movement of staff across services depending on their interests and skills. For example, even as peer workers, there is choice between providing phone peer support, forums or in groups (or across services!)
But @ArraDreaming - I do agree we need to work on better communicating this to our valuable members. I hear you 🙂
