For us, this is definitely the main factor. Bluesky has a very small role to play in our own comms strategy, our client audience is not here but funders and other supporters may be. It's still very much a test channel for us (and we are a teeny tiny comms team) 😊

We are finding that we get plenty (relatively, for the amount we post!) of new follows but zero engagement. Accept that our content is not actually that engaging, but we can see lots of organisations posting to spark conversation and debate, which is not forthcoming. Worth the effort??!

Our counselling room for adults is a safe & welcoming space with a discreet entrance, where your counsellor or support worker will ensure that you are seen, heard and supported.
