Peer Group Chat // Self-Kindness // Thursday 24th November 2022, 7-8:30PM AEDT

Our Peer Group Chat on Thursday 24th November 2022 will be on the topic of Self-Kindness.

Self-kindness is super important, and it is something that we are all deserving and worthy of. However, it can also be quite challenging or unnatural for some people. Let's come together to share our ideas on different ways that we may be able to be kinder to ourselves.

Within this group tonight we’ll be talking about:

• Difficulties with being kind to ourselves, and our barriers
• Coping mechanisms to be kinder to ourselves
• What self-kindness actually looks like

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

This is held at daylight saving time!
