I need urgent help"Hi, my name is Dexter! I've been working on Side by Side as a moderator for around 4 years. I have loved watching the service change and grow over time."
Why are you so passionate about working with Mind?
"I have worked on other online peer support services, at other national charities, but working for Mind has been really important.
Mind offers a huge wealth of information and support to people with mental health problems. I find it valuable to get to facilitate and support Side by Side members, and see this wonderful community every day."
What difference do you think the new features will make?
"I think these new features will elevate the service and allow members to use special and unique features.
The Mood Tracker will help members see and understand their moods over time which is important in mental health.
I also think that the Club Rooms will be a lovely way for members to deepen their connections with each other, and have special wellbeing spaces, away from mental health conversations."
Which features are you most looking forward to seeing?
"I think the improved Settings page will be really useful. It will be more obvious to navigate and neater. I think this is helpful for people with neurodiversity or who struggle to navigate the site."
