Digital Self-Care involves using platform settings to help control your feed. You can turn off autoplay - so don't unexpectedly seeing traumatic posts. You can also mute/filter words or phrases, preventing posts with those words from appearing & curating a feed that feels good.

[Good Things Foundation @GoodThingsFdn]

We had a great AGM this morning, celebrating our Ambassadors, staff, and Trustees.

We're "feeling the possibilities" and are ready for another year of working to #FixtheDigitalDivide✨

Thank you @willperrin for being with us for 10+ years, for your work and brilliant stories.

Our #BGE programme now includes menopause 🩸⁠
⁠
The world of work is set up so that women and people who menstruate are at a disadvantage - and guess what? This impacts people experiencing menopause, too. ⁠

"One of the criticisms I've faced over the years is that I'm not aggressive enough or assertive enough, or maybe somehow, because I'm empathetic, it means I'm weak. I totally rebel against that. I refuse to believe that you cannot be both compassionate & strong." Jacinda Ardern
