ToolBox threads
Hey, guys so I often find these threads sometimes get lost within all the posts of this section and that can make it tricky to know what threads we have for working on our resilience and identifying the good things in life. So I've made this handy table to remind us all! I've tried to place them in order of what would feel easiest when things are feeling difficult for us.
If you're after more distraction or hobby style threads, check out our Hang Out Thread Masterlist instead! 🙂

This is absolutely awesome @Bee !!! Especially for someone like me who is still fairly new to the community, it just makes it easier to find things! I was pretty overwhelmed at first (and still kinda am) at how and where to connect with people because I don't want to keep creating different posts for all the different shit running through my head that I want to talk to someone about but this definitely helps so thankyou!!!
