Trauma Support Community Check-In for November 2024 - Veterans & Military Families Month
Hello everyone,
welcome to this month's check-in! This month is Veterans & Military Families Month.
(Source)
This month we want to appreciate the support that families of soldiers give them and the sacrifices that they make to be able to give this support. We also want to appreciate veterans for the work they have done. Being part of a military family as well as being a veteran can come with a lot of trauma so we want you to know that this community is here for you.
On a side note, we're currently working on a regular support chat for veterans, so if you're interested in that, please pm me.

) What is something that helps you to feel grounded when the world around you gets overwhelming?
When things feel overwhelming, connecting with supportive communities, especially in faith-based groups, helps me stay grounded. Engaging in social media work for causes that make a positive impact reminds me I’m part of something meaningful. I also find calm through self-care practices like journaling and taking walks, which give me space to recharge.
2) What are some challenges you're anticipating this month?
This month, I’m working to balance a mix of responsibilities: managing UGC campaigns, overseeing social media for multiple clients, and connecting with faith-based and local communities. Simplifying my approach to content creation amidst constant new trends and tools is a priority, but finding the right balance without getting overwhelmed will be a challenge.
3) What's a strength you've discovered in yourself or your family through difficult times?
A strength I’ve found in myself is resilience and adaptability. Whether adjusting strategies for social media clients or managing unexpected shifts in workload, I’ve learned I can handle challenges and keep moving forward. Being part of supportive communities has shown me the importance of connection and encouragement, especially during tough times.
@Mellietronx
It's great to hear that you've found a helpful mix of checking-in with your communities and yourself as well. Resilience and adaptility are definitely great strengths and I'm sure that your clients appreciate them too. I admire content creators - it's so much more work than most viewers think. I wish you a lot of success with simplifying your approach and balancing all your clients needs.
