Tumblr Suicide Watch needs you!
We are Tumblr Suicide Watch, a suicide watch group that tries to talk to and help people who are suicidal or struggling otherwise.Â
We are currently looking for new admins to join the TSWatch Team.
1. Reports. We post reports of tumblr users in need (and who have consented) and we reach out to them, talk to them, and do all we can to help them and keep them safe.Â
2. Advice. We get upwards of 50 messages a day, asking for advice or help in one area or another. We, of course, answer them to the best of our abilities.Â
3. Live chat. We are in the process of setting up a live chat system on our page. We will need admins who can speak one-on-one with people who come with various questions, problems and situations.Â
4. Behind the scenes work. We have pages and resources to update and maintain, and we have an active skype group where discussions and announcements are held.
For the live chat, we are open to all applicants.
For blog admins, while we do accept all applicants, weâre looking specifically for people who are:
From racial backgrounds other than white
Under the MOGAI/LGBTQIAP+ umbrella
From or living in areas other than the USAÂ
Able to communicate in languages other than English
And/or have personal experience in one or more of following areas:
Post-Traumatic Stress DisorderÂ
Obsessive-Compulsive DisorderÂ
Dissociative Identity DisorderÂ
Addiction / substance abuse
Lastly, admins must be in the process of recovery. This doesnât mean that you canât have bad days or struggle, but you should be aiming for a positive and healthy life and trying to work towards that.
Being an admin on TSWatch is a responsibility. While it is 100% voluntary, we really need people who are going to be dedicated to helping run this blog. You need to be able to commit at least a few times a week, on average.Â
If you wish to be an blog admin on TSWatch, the application is here.
If you wish to help out on the live chat, the application is here.Â
What are we looking for in your applications?
Weâre looking for sincere answers that are both encouraging and helpful. Your advice should be unique, constructive and tailored specifically to the question. We also like answers of decent lengths (more than one paragraph is preferred) and that includes links to resources.Â
A good rule of thumb is: give advice that you would like to be given if the situation was reversed.
