Peer Group Chat // Feeling Like I’m Pretending: Imposter Syndrome // Thursday 24th August 2023, 7-8:30PM AEST
Hey everyone!
On Thursday 24th of August 2023, we will be holding a Peer Group Chat on the topic of Feeling Like I’m Pretending: Imposter Syndrome.
It can be a common experience to feel pressure to fit in or be someone you’re not. Often, we can doubt ourselves and our abilities leaving us feeling like a fraud, but this might be the imposter syndrome talking. Let’s come together to discuss our experiences with imposter syndrome, and how we can combat this feeling.
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:
