Some people might know TheElephant InTheRoom on facebook, but I thought it might be of interest to people to know that a website has now been launched called Ele Friends, which is an online community where people can support each other with mental illness/who are struggling.
Of course the fact that it is an elephant makes me think it is a great idea automatically, but it seems like a really good idea to have a place where people can speak their mind and be supported.
There are 3 buttons as responses to posts: A thumbs up – I like this, A heart – Thinking of you and An ear – I hear you. I think these are a great idea too! And of course you can comment too! It’s kind of like facebook, but a bit friendlier!
I think it’s a really good idea! So why not pop over to Elefriends and give it a try? What do you think?
An ear? That’s beautiful … xx
love it! xx
great idea!
Hi Ellie, I’ve just been praising Elefriends too, it has certainly done something for me in the few days I have been on it. It’s been really positive to see others treating each other with warmth, respect and care. I think that somehow amidst all the hopelessness I must have forgotten there are good people in the world. xxx
That’s good news!
Yes, sometimes we forget about the good people, but they are still there
