Hey everyone! We set up this forum as a safe, anonymous space for single parents to connect, ask questions, and support each other without it being linked to Facebook or any other apps. Initially, we set it up as a peer-led space with minimal involvement from OPFS staff, but we’re now wondering if a more active role from us would be helpful. We’ve noticed that it’s not being used as much as we hoped, and we’d love to hear from you about how we can make it better 💬

💬 What would make the forum more useful and engaging for you?
💬 Do you find it helpful as a peer support space?
💬 Would you like more involvement from staff for guidance and resources?
💬 What topics or features would encourage you to visit more often?
💬 Is the fact that it’s on a separate website a challenge?

We know that remembering to check another website isn’t always easy, but we still believe in the value of having a private, judgement-free space to connect. Your input will help us shape this forum into something that truly works for you.

Hello. I think like many things it needs some decisive leadership and guiding to get people to contribute. Forums for peer support can be really useful and reassuring but do this best when conversations are guided to begin with, perhaps offering example stories or ideas for folks to comment on and then share their experiences. Thank you for setting this up.

Thanks for your feedback PeskyChild. Yes, we are starting to think it can only work with more converssation starters and input from me or someone at OPFS.
