Peer Group Chat // Creating Calm Amongst Chaos // Thursday 14th September 2023, 7-8:30PM AEST

Hi everyone!

On Thursday 14th of September 2023, we will be holding a Peer Group Chat on the topic of Creating Calm Amongst Chaos.

Have you ever longed for a stronger sense of calm? Join us to share some ideas that help you to create calm in your life, and maybe even learn some new techniques too!

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:

Both of these are really awesome @Former-Member @Blackbird11! thanks so much for sharing with us here 😊 At this stage, my CALM looks something like this;

Chat- with someone

Air- as in getting a bit of air or taking a breather

Lavender- the scent is something I find really soothing!

Music- sometimes particular songs or playlists, other times just any music

@Glisten @Shaz51 @Snowie @hanami @Dark_Olena & anyone else following along who wants to contribute, I'd love to hear what CALM might look like for you if you'd like to share 😊
