Introducing Yay You's
We are excited to announce a new way of recognising the support we give each other: Yay, You!
There is evidence across the online community of the support and kindness this community shows each other. Use this thread as a place to capture it all and celebrate each other. There are a few ways you can do this:
Feel free to use this template
Yay, You's are how ReachOut staff recognise each other's good work. We do this by writing a message and/or selecting one (or more) of our organisational values, which are:
Compassion
Generosity
Inclusiveness
Responsibility
Fun
Courage
If you'd prefer to tag the community member and send a message/gifs, etc., you are welcome to do it that way. Whatever works for you is perfect!
Looking forward to reading through this thread!
@Philippa-RO You've absolutely made my day, thank you so much to you and this community 🥰
@Emily-RO Aww thank you!! That's very touching! ^_^ When I put my post up on Reach Out, I never thought I would get a response like this. 😄 Thank You. 🙂
Hi everyone! I'd love to share some Yay You's that I've written recently about yall 😄💙
Sending socially distant hugs!! 💙
@Emily-RO @Janine-RO thank you so much!! This is so affirming and I'm excited to sit down and do some of these myself ❤️
This is so lovely thank you 🙂 it feels special to be appreciated, everyone is so helpful to me on here so I'm really happy if I am giving anything back 💛
Okay so I have some yay you's I'd like to give out!
First off, thank you @MB95 for making this thread about R U OK day- I think it's a really important conversation to have, because the day can bring up a lot of emotions!
I'd also like to say thanks to @WheresMySquishy for always giving such insightful replies- like the one you gave on the R U OK thread and also for always being so generous with your time- particularly in AMAAs and weekly wellbeings! 🙂
Thanks for the Yay You @Lost_Space_Explorer5! ❤️
I think that you also deserve a Yay You for all the amazing work you do on the forums, such as your creative Weekly Wellbeings and work on the Introduce Yourself threads!
Hey all - I'm so excited for this, and thought I'd kick things off today! I'm going to try and use GIFs, but each of my Yay Yous is celebrating someone who displays our values 💜
@Lost_Space_Explorer5 : thank you for living the values of generosity, fun and inclusiveness, by always being so generous with your time as a mod, and doing so many amazing activities! This Introduce Yourself: September thread brought a much needed smile to my face on Monday!
Yay, You! @StormySeas17 for your compassionate and thoughtful responses, you're a wonderful builder who always shows so much insight and generosity in your responses - like this post here
Yay You @MB95 for living the values of fun, compassion, and courage- and your exceptional talent with GIFs, to help bring a smile to other people's faces when things are hard
Yay, You! @Tiny_leaf for your compassion, generosity and courage in giving wonderful support to so many people, and generously sharing your own lived experience
I feel like I could go on forever... but I will leave it here for today.
Remember, anyone can give a Yay, You! You don't have to be a mod or builder, and it doesn't have to be a special day - we want this to be a space where we can celebrate the awesomeness that we see here in all of its forms. This community is full of awesome humans- YAY, all of you.
Awwh thanks @Janine-RO ❤️ I love the idea of having yay you's!
