🛡 Have you done any outreach this month? how has that gone?
I did lots of outreach towards the start of the month and focused on Autism hashtags and surprisingly, numbers increased in ASD forum, so whether that was related or is wishful thinking I don't know 
🛡 How has the bingo been going for everyone? And how has the Egg hunt been? Do you have any questions about either?
I have completed 4 rows 
The egg hunt is okay, it's just hard to track or remember when those go live as well as the other dated bingo things, but it is a really fun idea and concept and adds an extra edge to this month!! I'm enjoying it
🛡 Next month is Mental Health Month, what are some things you would like to see from the team next month?
Lots of variety with the things within the bingo, maybe some new things as well as the weekly tweets and outreach, some fun new surprises 
Keep being awesome 
@SpectrumForHope
🛡 It's awesome to hear you have seen some good outcomes from your Autism related outreach and it's awesome to hear you've been doing outreach this month! When you reach out do you send only your referral link :O? Have you tried experimenting with certain ASD posts to see if it makes a direct difference :O?
🛡 You've done 4 already!! Glad the egg hunt has been alrighty, that definitely has been an issue on my part if we do another hunt Ill be sure to post in the forums every time a new hint goes out so everyone knows they're out there!
🛡 Ooooh that's definitely something I can do! I have had some ideas for new thingums in the bingo so I'll test them out for May and get everyone's feedback on them at the end of the month!
As long as you stay pawesome
@ArwaS
When you reach out do you send only your referral link :O?
When I did my outreach it was on Light it up blue day on April 2nd and so my replies to people was basically me showing my support for them taking part in that and i focussed mainly on those who were taking part to support loved ones etc with autism so also told them about the Autism forums here and also gave my referral link.
Have you tried experimenting with certain ASD posts to see if it makes a direct difference :O?
Im not sure what you mean with this, sorry xD
If it is what I am reading it as, this week I introduced a new structure within the ASD forums including icebreakers, check-ins, video/article support posts and written support posts so maybe when people see the variety now it will encourage more to take part. I dont know yet but will make changes to that if needed.
I'm looking forward to the new thingums and everything else next month
Tankos for being awesome as always
@ArwaS
Hello :)
Its been a very busy April for me so its very hard to keep up with everything I need to do both online and in my personal life.
Although the update of bringing the bingo each month is a very creative idea and really fun one. It helps a lot knowing which are the tasks I need to do so that I wont get caugh up with the boring loop.
Been trying to get some eggs and do some of the tasks.
@SmileyPower
Sorry to hear you've had a lot going on this month! I hope it becomes manageable with both.
🛡 I love that you've found the bingo fun! It does help to have your tasks right in front of you unlike before it was pretty easy then to forget the requirements each month!
🛡 Go you for doing your tasks and finding those eggs too!
@ArwaS
Hello! Yes, I have done a little bit of outreach this month and it went well. So is everything else, the egg hunt and the bingo.
As far as Mental Health Month goes, I think it would be helpful to learn about the stigma connected to mental health in different cultures & different parts of the world.
Thank you for all your hard work and support!
@Tazzie
🛡 Glad to hear everything's going well! Are there any specific hashtags you reached out to this month :O?
🛡 Stigma and combatting it, as well as looking at stigma from around the world! Love that and will definitely add it in!
Thank you for everything you do <3
@ArwaS
#stress #depression
Thank you!
@ArwaS
🛡 Have you done any outreach this month? how has that gone?
Yes I have done outreach this month! It's been going good thank you!
🛡 How has the bingo been going for everyone? And how has the Egg hunt been? Do you have any questions about either?
The bingo has been going very well thank you! I've been trying to complete as much of it as I can this month to beat my score from last month. I have been going the egg hunt it's been fun but some days I have not managed to get online to find the eggs!!! 
Yes I do have a question! -
Is it cheating to find the eggs at a later day? I would still love to find the ones I haven't cracked yet?
🛡 Next month is Mental Health Month, what are some things you would like to see from the team next month?
Oo mental health month sounds exciting! I believe it is coming up to exam time - certainly here in the UK and maybe we could do something to bring attention to student's mental health and how important it is that they are also taking a little time to reflect on themselves and to take some self-care and destress before exams. It can be a tough time as it can be mentally exhausting to go through exams so I believe it could be helpful to support those going through one of the most stressing times next month.
@bear228
🛡 So good to hear that your outreach has been going well! Are you reaching out to any specific hashtags :O?
🛡 You got this I bee leaf in you!! It is definitely not cheating if you find them late! I need to put that down somewhere! Find those eggs ;)
🛡 Definitely exam time coming next month! Especially in the U.K, Id love to have something dedicated to student and students support/selfcare! Maybe we could have our chat on selfcare/destressing during exam times!
@ArwaS
I tend to reach out to things on #selfharm because I am so close to the community but when I cant find posts on there i look for other things such as #anxiety ect. Glad that it is not cheating *gets to finding some eggs. That for sure sounds a perfect topic!!
@ArwaS
i have done some of my outreach this month, and i'm going to go finish it now
my bingo is doing okay, and i'm set for 2+ bingos. i really like the egg hunt event! thanks for seeing that through.
as for next month, i'm not sure since i'm new to this team, but i'm sure there are great things planned!
@Pidge2
🛡 How did the outreach go? Have you been reaching out to any specific hashtags?
🛡 Thank you for seeing the egg hunt through too! And I'm glad to hear you're on track to meeting your goal!
🛡 We are always happy for ideas from anyone and everyone, if you do come up with any pm me at any point!
🛡 Have you done any outreach this month? how has that gone?
been a busy month butgladly I got time to do few and reach out for people and hope I could do more before the month ends.
🛡 How has the bingo been going for everyone? And how has the Egg hunt been? Do you have any questions about either?
The bingo is great so far my aim still to get 2+ and if any luck would love to make a full bingo this month haha. i couldn't be online for all the egg hunt posts,, but I could do it maybe 3 eggs so far. my question is reagrding the egg hunt, in order to count an egg do I have to get a picture like the one for autism? I replied to other two tweets but didn't get any so just clearing that out.
🛡 Next month is Mental Health Month, what are some things you would like to see from the team next month?
May would be amazing I'm sure. I would love to see something about Body image maybe. many people around me struggle with it. Also, would love to see something about student mental health as bear said that would be great
@Ahmed
🛡 I'm glad to hear you've done some reach out! Have you been reaching out to any specific hashtags?
🛡 You got this Ahmed!! You can do it :P. Yes, you have to get a picture just like the autism one however I am terribly behind on giving out eggs! But they should be all handed out within the next 2 days!
🛡 I think we can definitely encourage body Image! It's an important topic in regards to mental health
