Hey everyone!

On Thursday 2nd March 2023, we will be holding a Peer Group Chat on the topic of Finding the Right Support For You.

It’s important to find mental health care that takes into account your needs in order for you to get support that is the most beneficial and supportive for you. Based upon lived experience, in this discussion we will talk together about navigating the mental health care system to find professionals and modalities that work well with you. 

 

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:
