Peer Group Chat // Shouting Our Strengths! // Thursday 16th February 2023, 7-8:30PM AEDT

[amber22]

Hey everyone!

On Thursday 16th February 2023, we will be holding a Peer Group Chat on the topic of Shouting Our Strengths!

Since there can be a focus on our ‘weaknesses’ in mental health care, it may be difficult to identify our strengths. It can make a big difference to our wellbeing when we recognise, harness, and celebrate our strengths- from the big to the small and everything in between!

The event start times across Australia are below:

This is currently held in daylight savings hours:

WA: 4pm 
NT: 5:30pm

SA: 6:30pm 

QLD: 6pm

NSW, ACT, VIC & TAS: 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:

@TideisTurning    thankyou for invite.   I clicked on the blue '  here'    spot and pushed a few more nobs and dials clicked here, there,  and every where,    but couldn't find the conversation.   A least I landed the job as chief air traffic controller at Heathrow. .  . ! ! !

I will have to have a closer  to see where I went wrong.    Anyway,  hope you have a top week.

I will explore another day.    cheerio ,               tonys    mb   1
