Online Peer Group Chat// Negativity Bias// Thursday 18th November 2021, 7PM-8:30PM AEDT

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to let you all know our next Online Peer Group Chat is coming up next Thursday 18th November from 7-8:30PM AEDT on the topic of Negativity Bias.
For ease of reference, the times Australia

Have you ever noticed a tendency to notice negative things more than positive? This is known as a negativity bias. Let’s come together to explore what a negativity bias might mean for us and look like in our lives, as well as how we might be able to challenge or combat it!

I'm also going to tag a few members who may be interested in the topic. Feel free to tag others who may be interested also! @ArtistZ @Former-Member @BPDSurvivor @Shaz51

For those of you who may be new to Online Peer Groups, this is what they're all about:

Online Peer Group Chats focus on a specific topic and are guided by peer workers with lived experience of mental health issues. Counsellors are in the background to make sure chats are as safe as possible for participants. It is a space for peers to share their story and experiences, and connect with those who are going through something similar.

Peer Group Chats are hosted outside of the forums, using a platform called Chatwee. To join an Online Peer Group, you will need to register for an account with Chatwee. On the night, follow this link and log in to your Chatwee account before the group starts.

You can join our Online Peer Group Chats every second Thursday from 7:00-8:30pm (AEST/AEDT).

Check out the FAQs page for more information.

Tonight, expect discussion on:

  • negativity bias including what it is, what it might look like and how it might impact us
  • positivity bias, including what it might look like
  • becoming more aware of when negativity or positivity bias might show up
  • challenging negativity or positivity bias when it might be unhelpful and harnessing it when it might be beneficial

I'll tag those who supported the previous post for a reminder @Shaz51 @ArtistZ @Former-Member

Hope you're able to make it! ❤️
