Peer Group Chat // Sleepy-Time & Sweet Dreams: Getting a Good Sleep // Thursday 1st June 2023, 7-8:30PM AEST

Hello!

On Thursday 1st of June 2023, we will be holding a Peer Group Chat on the topic of Sleepy-Time & Sweet Dreams: Getting a Good Sleep.

Sleep is important for our mental health and wellbeing. In this chat, we’ll come together to share ideas, support each other and explore what makes a good night’s sleep.

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:

I watch asmr videos on youtube 😬 I am not embarrassed to say that. Sometimes I fall asleep and then an ad comes on and jolts me awake. need to download uBlock / Adblock or something.

I do that too sometimes! Ever since I discovered ASMR videos I use them a lot when I am unable to fall asleep, they bring a level of comfort for me when I feel as if I can't get comfortable or my mind won't stop racing.

Definitely relate about the ads waking me up though!! @scruffypuffball

Hope to see you at the Peer Group Chat on Thursday night if you can make it 🙂
