Project idea[edit]
One of the aspects of diversity is mental or psychiatric diversity, and to be an inclusive community, we need to be able to support volunteers with a variety of mental and emotional styles and challenges.
Project goals[edit]
- Research into what we know already about mental health issues in our community; a review of available research on online communities in general, as it would be adaptable
- Develop a best practices guide and instructions for working with volunteers with mental health challenges
- Create a global WikiProject on Meta
- Raise awareness about and sympathy towards community members with mental health challenges
