Peer Group Chat // Fun, Comfort, And Joy // Thursday 7th July 2022, 7-8:30PM AEST
Hi everyone!
Our next Peer Group Chat on Thursday 7th July 2022 will be on the topic of 'Fun, Comfort, and Joy'!
When is the last time you did something just out of fun or curiosity? In adulthood, it can be easy to leave behind the things we might’ve done as kids that made as happy, as we or society might view them as “childish” - despite the fact that they could bring us happiness and joy now- for example, using soft plush toys for comfort, or playing games. Come join this chat to reflect on how we might be able to incorporate things- big or small- that bring us comfort or joy back into our lives.
For ease of reference, the event start times across Australia are below:
WA: 5pm
NT & SA: 6:30pm
QLD, NSW, ACT, VIC & TAS: 7pm
Everyone is welcome to join! I'll tag some members who may be interested @MDT @Adge @Shaz51 @Oaktree @Jacques @chibam @Snowie @Teej @Pancake @Faith-and-Hope @Gwynn @HenryX @Lila3 @Judi9877 @NatureLover @Appleblossom @outlander @Zoe7 @pinklollipop15 @Sophia1 @LostAngel @petrichor
For those new to Peer Group Chats, each chat session focuses on a specific topic and is guided by Peer Workers with lived experience of mental health issues and recovery. A counsellor is also present to assist in ensuring a safe environment for individuals and the group. It is a space for peers to share their story and experiences, and connect with those who are going through something similar.
Peer Group Chats are hosted outside of the forums, using a platform called Chatwee. To join an Online Peer Group, you will need to register for an account with Chatwee. On the night, follow this link and log in to your Chatwee account before the group starts.
You can join our Peer Group Chats every Thursday from 7:00-8:30pm (AEST).
Check out the FAQs page for more information.
We hope to see you there! 😊
