Peer Group Chat// Caring for Yourself First // Thursday 9th November 2023, 7-8:30PM AEDT
On Thursday 9th November 2023, we will be holding a Peer Group Chat on the topic of Caring for Yourself First.
It can be tricky to navigate the balance of caring for yourself and others for the same time. But, you can’t care for someone else properly, unless you care for yourself first. Join us for a conversation around self-care, the importance of prioritising our well-being and an opportunity to share and learn from each other.
The event start times across Australia are below:
This is currently held in daylight savings hours:
WA: 4pm
NT: 5:30pm
SA: 6:30pm
QLD: 6pm
NSW, ACT, VIC & TAS: 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.
