Peer Group Chat // What Brings Life Meaning? // Thursday 11th May 2023, 7-8:30PM AEST

Hey everyone!

On Thursday 11th of May 2023, we will be holding a Peer Group Chat on the topic of What Brings Life Meaning?

It is valuable for all of us to engage in things in our life that are meaningful. This can include hobbies and interests, fulfilling relationships, culture and community. Within this group we will talk about what brings us meaning, the impacts of this on us, and support each other towards introducing more meaning into our lives.

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:

To access the group to observe only and not participate, you can access Chatwee as a Guest.

We hope to see you there 😊 If you can't make it but are interested, you can always catch up reading the transcript afterwards here. We also invite you to continue the conversation below on this thread if you can't make the night but also wish to contribute some of your responses. We will post some dot point prompts on the day that can get the conversation started if you're unable to make the live event!
