Our Peer Group Chat on Thursday 27th October 2022 will be on the topic of Creating and Maintaining Routines.
Having structure and routine in our lives can be valuable to our wellbeing. If there is not enough structure or routine, we might notice a negative impact on our mental health. In this group, we’ll be learning from and supporting each other about developing and keeping better routines in our lives.
Within this upcoming Peer Group Chat, you can expect us to cover:
- Implementing positive routines into our lives, and maintaining them
- How routines may vary depending on our current situations
- Breaking out of our current routines, and how this may benefit us
For anyone unfamiliar with Peer Group Chats, each focuses on a specific topic and is guided by Peer Workers with lived experience of mental health issues and recovery, &/or caring for someone with complex mental health. A counsellor is also present to assist in ensuring a safe environment for individuals and the group. It is a space for us as peers to share our stories and experiences, and connect with those who are going through something similar.
The event start times across Australia are below:
WA: 4pm
NT: 5:30pm
SA: 6:30pm
QLD: 6pm
NSW, ACT, VIC & TAS: 7pm
