I think I would find this super helpful. low-level mental health stuff has contributed to me basically muddling around for years, nowhere near making good on what I could (in my best attempt at probably faulty self assessment) potentially learn and contribute.

And also for people like me who don’t need to use text-to-speech but who just like using the text-to-speech of the Nonlinear Library for convenience to listen in podcast app :)
Yeah this seems pretty important to me, as it’s about one of the key differences between EA and other charity (the strong emphasis on being rigourous about actual effectiveness). I saw something else similar to this recently, though can remember who from, and felt concerned about it, so glad to see you pointing this one out.
great to hear!
I think this is a good point (that lots of people especially newcomers might not be aware of the community health team’s role when they might need it). I’ve been engaging with EA a lot online since maybe 2015, and in person since 2018, and I was aware of the community health team for a while but I wasn’t aware that it played this particular role of investigating claims and taking action e.g. banning people, until I think last year.
I’m so intrigued by proposal 3)! I think when a friend is struggling like that I often have a vague feeling of wanting to engage/help in a bigger way than having a few chats about it, and I’m intrigued by this idea of how to do that. And also thinking about myself I think I’d love it if someone did that for me. I’m gonna keep that in mind and maybe try it one day!
