thinking we should update this.

Very sorry for the delay, please contact our Client Services Manager, Joan Martin on 0448098744. She has been in touch with a recommended Psychologist who has worked with people with MD and is not too far from the Byron area.

Thanks for your enquiry, our Client Services Manager Joan will reply ASAP with some info for you.

Hi Emma, It looks like you have created a small group for MDWA - you can use this as a place to post messages to each other that only the three of you can see depending on the privacy settings of your group.

Sorry for the delay on following up. Palliative Care is a subcategory of Wellness. I created a new subcategory called Mental Health. Now I know how to add them if there's any you'd like to see, let me know.

@Anthony also check out our resources here: https://mdnsw.org.au/the-peer-collective/accessing-s*x-worker-resources/
But then I re-read your original post, and these resources won't be helpful. Sorry.

I'll let Scott know and he might become an active member in the forum

Hi Sarah,
Good questions! We're still working out a few things ourselves Tags help with searching for a topic, so adding tags will help others find it, if they are looking for similar information. As to how you add tags? I would think it's just by putting a hashtag at the start of the word. I'll try: #tags #subcategories
I'll also look into the palliative care subcategory and get back to you with some answers! (I suspect newer subcategories are automatically added to the top) Right? @Meerkats-Admin

If you have any questions about the forum and how to use it, please let us know.

One of our members has started a vlog and inspects hotel rooms for accessibility. It's a work in progress though! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmrXkvNkg61hV3Y7bhYkzTg
