Room Supporter Meeting Notes January 3, 2022

January 3, 2022

Room Supporters Team Meeting 1 pm ET (Adults)

Sub Community Leaders Room

Attendees: @Sher217, @Azalea98 @AnnaTess @MoonChild1206

Happy New Year everyone!

I would like to first extend my apologies to the Teen community for being unable to host a room supporter meeting for you as promised. Severe weather in my area caused technical difficulties on my end.

Please note the new times and day for Room Supporter meetings. Our weekly meeting will be held on Monday at 1 pm ET for Adults and 7 pm ET for Teens. Thank you all again for your participation in the survey for choosing meeting days and new times for the first quarter of 2022.

To kick off the New Year, the question posed in the meeting was, what would you like to see from me to better support you, our amazing Room Supporters. These are the suggestions offered by the attendees.

1. This is just my opinion (based on conversations with others) but I think discussions on how to handle situations in a room would be helpful to new RSs to give them a chance to learn from others how they handle situations

2. Well, I often get asked about the progression from RS to mod so maybe running discussions on that transition might be good

3. If I may make another suggestion for a topic: Developing your own personal style

4. Tips or best practices for Room Supports on teen sides and adult sides as each side has different styles of communication.

5. Discussions for transitioning teens to dispel some common misconceptions about 'the other side'

6. In general, I think de-escalation training would be amazing for RS and mods.

7. I think a live training with scenarios may be useful, but since those could be hard to attend, maybe even a forum post? You could collect examples of situations from RS about situations they might have struggled in (or other leaders) to get a variety, then collect how different RS/Mods/Leaders would de-escalate? So it could be used to return to.

I would like to wrap up our meeting notes by inviting each of you to please make any suggestions you might have to improve our meetings, topics you wish to discuss, and what you would like to see in 2022.

As a reminder, our next meeting will be held on January 10th. Everyone is invited to attend these meetings as your time and schedule allows.
