Hi everyone!

Our Peer Group Chat on Thursday 20th October 2022 will be on the topic of How to Be More Assertive.

Being able to stand up for yourself or people you care about can be so helpful in many areas of life. Assertiveness is a skill that can be developed and practiced by anyone. Join us to learn from each other to explore how we can be more assertive in our everyday lives. 

Within this upcoming Peer Group Chat, you can expect us to cover: 

• The value that assertiveness can bring to our lives 
•  Being assertive for others around us 
•  Overcoming barriers by improving our own ways of being assertive 

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
