Discussion Leader Reviews
Discussion Leaders! This thread is in celebration of YOU and the wonderful work you do :)
Discussions, Support Sessions and Events do wonders for the soul of our community; they help newcomers to build connections and familiarize themselves with a few friendly faces, and they're also fantastic opportunities for us all to learn and grow together!
If you've led a discussion, look out for your name in this thread. Don't see yourself here yet? Stay tuned! Your reviews will be coming!
Don't forget to help the process along by sharing the feedback form after your discussion (see below):
Those leading discussions in listener chat rooms can share this form after discussions to receive feedback.
If you're leading a discussion in Group Support, please share the Group Support Review Form.
(You can find both of these linked in the bottom of the chat room rules. Please encourage members to leave feedback!)
STAY AWESOME!!!
@Ace13 was amazing and understanding of everything
@Jake The discussion was good because everyone was involved and it was fun to be able to hear the answers people gave and it was fun. :)
@Jake I think this topic is very important for participants of group support chatroom. So everyone knows what to expect from it and can learn how to provide support for each other. Jake was also every engaging and informative. I had a great time! I hope there will be more in the future :D
@Jake This discussion made me think a lot about myself and realize many things as well without being overbearing. I realized everything without knowing I was thinking about it. :)
@AdventuRin Great chat! Can't wait for another one!
@AdventuRin it was really really informative and nice and everyone in the room was super respectful and well behaved. I felt safe and welcomed there at the same time as I learned new cool things
@AdventuRin It was great, hope there's more people next time!
@AdventuRin was great in being able to lead a great discussion on any questions people had around LGBTQ+. The community in here, really came together and I felt really supported and happy afterwards.
@AdventuRin It was really uplifting, the moderator is a super lovely person, and I felt really safe :)
@AdventuRin is an excellent discussion leader, very knowledgeable, considerate and willing to share their knowledge. Also very easy to converse with, doesn't feel stiff or robotic at all.
@Ace13 and @EvangelineLover Very professionally led discussion, stayed on topic the whole time.
@SunshineNrainbows The discussion was fun, participants were interacting not just with the moderator but with each other. I saw participants helping each other understand individual points, elaborating and exploring possibilities. It goes to show that Sunshine has really bonded the discussion participants together and promoted the discussion within the community rather than herding people. Splendid, I enjoyed this and look forward to more.
@Maddyishere and @Ace13 This group was super helpful <3
@Ace13 and @Softball It gave me some new coping skills to try, and was overall a good conversation
@Anushka1 It was fun, interesting and overall well oriented. I really enjoyed taking part in it
@Anushka1 the discussion was amazing and everyone got involved well... the discussion on going brought people together and got others to open up about their selves. I think a lot of member/listeners/guest realised that being weird isn't anything wrong but being unique and being yourself and this discussion just proved that
@Anushka1 That was a very great discussion, much fun and love
@Anushka1 It was a very good discussion on accepting your weirdness and what is considered weird.Helping people coming to terms with their weirdness too.
@Anushka1 At first talking about 'weird' comes me weird ;however, at the end(and also now) I do think that being weird is not weird at all.So being aware and knowing that It is normal , is good and I have found this discussion as a success.
@Anushka1 Everyone had fun, everyone behaved, and everyone bonded. Anuska was a star moderator because she made it seemed as if she wasnt a moderator, she was a natural leader. She moved with grace, charm and warmth, everyone was better just by her presence. Nobody felt left out, even the ones who didnt like games night, she included everyone and felt like one of us. Thats why we trusted in her leadership, because being with her meant that we were acknowledged, treated fairly and with more courtesy than is required. Everyone had fun tonight, but the star of the show was undoubtedly Anushka. :)
@AdventuRin It was informative and ncie and easy to follow, I got some great tips and it was just overall fun to get to hear what other people thought of our questiosn and get different insgiht
@Ace13 It was amazing. The question, the people, everything. Thanks for putting it together!
@autumnleigh Loved the patient and gentle way with which Autumn led and she was so supportive of all in the room. Great discussion even though some members were in very negative moods and going through a lot of difficulties Autumn handled it amazingly well. Thank you Autumn!
@AutumnLeigh this discussion, improvised, as the original one was cancelled, was very inclusive and adapted to desire and needs of participants. It was very nice.
@Onelifetolive and @poeticguy Really appreciated the questions they had...made you think, and reflect. They took the time to listen and respond back to what was said, and come up with other corresponding questions that caused more discussion and thought. Really felt like it was a great discussion, where all were being heard. Thanks for taking the time to lead us through it guys.
@Fairy + @Raylen I felt as thought it was very good but some intrusions lost the purpose of it.
@Raylen & @Pray4theheartless They were very supportive and showed true interest in our situations, as well as our daily lives. They did an amazing job! And I have to admit, now I feel way better about my anxiety than I did before :)
@ZizyTheTurtle Very fun!
@Anggi Absolutely amazing
@Minionator Good discussion, awesome questions, the way the discussion was held peacefully, awesome answers, worth the score
@Alicatt She was simply amazing and very supportive!
@Alicatt did a great job in a very challenging room to host a discussion in, community 1. Great job and awesome discussion. :)
@Kallie112358 Clear and concise questions. Discussion of points that were brought up fairly by everyone. No one ignored or left out. Discussion proceeded at a nice rate. Questions were interesting and valid.
@Kallie112358 It was a very helpful discussion.. lots of aspects were covered and i learnt a lot
@Ace13 Everyone was truly supportive and great. Ace kept the conversation going and accepted everyone there!
@Minionator amazing discussion lead perfectly
@AdventureRin The topic kept going smoothly. Rather than cut it off at the end of the hour, the leader kept going just a moment longer to wrap things off. They also gave input where necessary and displayed their own lack of knowledge when they didn't have some rather than pretending they understood. And they were able to encourage a lot of participation.
@adventurin is amazing :p
@Minionator it was excellent i learned a lot, and felt heard too.
@Raylen It was a very helpful considerate discussion
@Ace13 & @RebeccaEmily The discussion was very well done. It was timed perfectly, and they were very supportive of everyone's answers. The discussion also motivated me more to fulfill my dreams, which is amazing. Everyone was very active in the discussion, and I think everyone smiled sometime during it (:
@Prayfortheheartless and @raylen It helped me to calm down a lot after the session
@Ace13 Listener was awesome, 10/10 for him!
It wasn't much people here but he handled it awesome.

@Angii It was enlightening and made you look at things from a different perspective.
@BLTmaster excellent flow and responses everyone felt included and greeted

@Anggi Good advices and questions
@Anggi was super helpful and supportive of people's answers ❤
@Anggi & @AutumnFox It was full of new informations. It was very helpful to me to understand many characteristics of mental health.
@Anggi and @AutumnFox Was good and made me realise how lucky i am to have a good friend. also makes me understand more of the good aspects of healthy friendships
@Ace13 I didn't see the whole thing but I got tons out of it. It was very productive and organized, which drew me in :)
@Ace13 is a great and positive leader who were supportive and kind to everyone. More of this :)
@Alicatt I have been able to learn a lot about other LGBT members, about their concerns and perspectives on sex and gender.
@Raylen Both Raylen and the participants were amazing , the discussion was very well organised and helpful
@Raylen Acknowledging everybody's answers, being helpful, adding their own answers, asking intelligent questions, encouraging people to participate.
@EvangelineLover I chose this score because she knew when a comment wasn't appropriate and she really knew alot about what she was talking about. Also, she was really really encouraging!
@RocketsMom and @MsEmma I felt like there were great questions, really good discussion.
@RocketsMom & MsEmmaGood questions, helpful feedback, awesome input. Overall, I enjoyed it and was saddened by the "Actually, that was our final question!"
Those leading discussions in listener chat rooms can share this form after discussions to receive feedback.
If you're leading a discussion in Group Support, please share the Group Support Review Form.
@Heather: I'm a bit confused. These two are different forms. Which one is better to share?
For example, I'm gonna lead a support session tonight. What form should I share at the end of it?
@cristiana33
If I may try to answer, I think discussions in listener chatrooms mean the ones that are held in LCR or LSR or GMZ whereas discussion held in group support means discussions that are held in group support rooms. So, if you're leading a support session tonight, I'd say you should use the group support review form. :)
@Anggi
Thanks a lot! Makes sense! :) I tend to get confused when comparing these. All clear now.
It looks like Depression Support is falling behind in the posts, so I'd like to share some of the positive feedback we've received with you all!
@MsEmma & @fluffyUnicorns84 hosted the best discussion i have attended here and there have been some very good ones.
@PolarCat I felt included and Polarcat is doing a great job!
@MissZ & @Zedda are amazing, their support is unbelievable. As long as there are sessions available at a reasonable hour for non-EST time zones, I am happy.
@babyblue is amazing!
@fluffyUnicorns84, @cuddlyWords72: EXCELLENT, BRILLIANT. I was surprised at someone saying I was amazing and gave awesome answers....it made my day!!!:) great atmosphere, supportive-caring-kind. Awesome leaders, great participation.
@fluffyUnicorns84, @cuddlyWords72: Fluffy & Cuddly are great mods / Helpful and fantastic session
@Dillion & @BLTmaster - Excellent questions
@221Skye & @scarlet25 - it was so inclusive, everyone supported each other and just WOW
@221Skye & @scarlet25 - The entire conversation was so positive and mind opening. I learned much about fear and heard about experiences. At the end, we were all sending hugs to one another. It was great <3
Recommend 10/10!
@221Skye & @BashoreBuddy - This Disscussion was very good, very good questions were the reason for very good answers. Everyine took a part of it and they birth realized everything. It was a discussion, where not everyone said his opinion, it was a real discussion with agreeing and disagreeing. I just have to admit that's always amazing with Skye-Pie, she's an adorable girl, who cares so much for everybody! Buddy was great too :)
@Ace13 & @RebeccaEmily - they were really calm and had amazing inputs and dealt with negativity really well. They were also super encouraging and fabulous :D
@Rocketsmom kept us all on topic and it was fantastic how everyone opened up and was so positive and supportive of everyone's opinions and thoughts. One of the best discussions I've attended.

@Kallie112358 - It felt like we were all included and rewarded for giving great answers, it was nice to have a chat and see the others opinions.
@BLTmaster & @Kallie112358 - it was informative and helpfull to what i wanted to get out of the conversation.
@Ace13 - I loved discussing these things and talking about solutions and how we can be more accepting towards those struggling in this community. This is one of my favorite things to talk about, and I was just glad to finally encounter people who I could have this discussion with who weren't completely shut-off or narrow minded towards the topic. I absolutely loved participating in this discussion and if we ever have another one I would love to do it again!
@Kallie112358 & @Lee - They kept it real and by the end of it lessened my anxiety about my own fears.
@NiaS29 & @221Skye - This was such a help and it was such an amazing discussion! I loved it!
@Alicattt - She was patient with everyone's answers and everyone got to participate that wanted to. No one's participation was turned down or shamed.
@Alicattt is a wonderful discussion leader with nerves of steel.
@221Skye & @Ace13 - Intellectually stimulating
