To any & all,
I am doing some thinking about how the WP Community could help Admins who are struggling with the work. My goal is to come up with a formal mechanism that these Admins can turn to for help and support before they choose to simply give up and leave the Community. It could serve as a form of intervention before a burnout occurs.
What are your thoughts about this?
What this probably needs is a "Father Confessor" type of person that stressed out admins can go to privately when they have a problem. Such persons need to appreciate confidentiality and be non-judgemental.

Or possibly a group of objective persons who could offer the same confidentiality and nonjudgmental input. Is this possible within the present structure of WP?

I don't know. I want to believe that there are mature enough persons in the Community that can honor a trust. OK, Pollyanna lives - but I need her to, to survive the rest of it.
