It ties in nicely with our theme for October: Reflection and Self-Compassion.

Community Manager Mental Health Guide

We’ve been working really hard to support community managers in our industry through our Mental Health First Aid for Community Managers training with Mind Fitness – and now we’ve got a brand new resource!

We’re releasing a Community Managers Mental Health Introduction toolkit which provides 10 useful tips for self-care and mental wellbeing, and an overview of the full course. Any CMs who have completed the course will also receive a Community Managers Mental Health Companion toolkit to support them and their communities after completing the training.

There is a SIOW logo and a Mind Fitness logo beneath. There is a black and white outline of a femme person with short curly hair crouching . at the bottom, there is a banner with www.safeinourworld.org written.

The introduction toolkit is available to download for free here. If you’re a Community Manager, aspiring Community Manager, or just want some guidance on setting boundaries and practicing self-care, please take a look.

Check out our brand new video filmed at Develop Brighton this year, where we interview games industry folk and gamers alike on why games matter to them.

It wouldn’t be an anniversary without a teaser into what is coming soon, would it? Let’s just say, maybe we will have something irl for you to get your hands on in 2023.
