Creator Mental Health toolkit
As a creator or moderator, it's never your job to intervene and support your community with their mental health. But we know these issues can come up in your spaces, and it's not always easy to know the right thing to do.
That’s why, at Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), we’ve worked with creators and mods to build a mental health toolkit that will help you carry the load. It has all the resources you should need to signpost and look out for your community on your streams, comments, and anywhere else you engage, so you can focus on doing what you love most.
