Hey everyone!
On Thursday 3rd of August 2023, we will be holding a Peer Group Chat on the topic of Calling On Confidence.
Confidence can be hard to call on sometimes, but being able to harness it can be a great enabler in our everyday lives. Join us to talk about how to call on our confidence, how to navigate when we feel like we are lacking confidence, and tips on how to build confidence within ourselves and others.
The event start times across Australia are below:
Western Australia: 5pm
Northern Territory & South Australia: 6:30pm
Queensland, New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory, Victoria & Tasmania: 7pm
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 as a moderator to help ensure 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.
Anyone is welcome to join! Tagging some members who may be interested below:

Hi Everyone,
This topic on confidence, along with this podcast discussion with Carly Findlay (touching on confidence toward the end) got me thinking about whether it's necessary to have confidence 100% of the time. I don't think it is, and I'm also not sure it's possible- everyone has down times and down moments and that's OK. I'm also curious about how/where the whole concept of ‘fake it till you make it’ (more here) might fit in here- if there's a place for 'fake it til you make it', what/ where might that be?
What does everyone think? @7cough9 @Appleblossom @Snowie @Former-Member @tonys @Oaktree @Shaz51 @Jacques
