Peer Group Chat // Getting to Grips with Guilt // Thursday 17th August 2023, 7-8:30PM AEST

Hey everyone!

On Thursday 17th of August 2023, we will be holding a Peer Group Chat on the topic of Getting to Grips with Guilt

Sometimes guilt can be helpful, and other times not so much. Navigating when it is and when it is not can be tough. Join us to talk about the different experiences we might have with guilt, when it’s helpful versus when it may not be, and how to constructively harness guilt.

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:
