Peer Group Chat//Creative Outlets// Thursday 30th November 2023, 7-8:30PM AEDT

Hi @TideisTurning

Have we ever done a PGC on coping during the holiday period? I know for myself that my supports will cease during this time and I'm sure it would happen to others. Not having that support can be hard. I also know that the holiday period can be very triggering for people. It might be a way to look into different avenues we can look into and where we can reach out for that support.

Just a thought....

Hey @Snowie,

this is a great suggestion! Not a PGC as such, but as it happens, our next topic Tuesday is on a very similar topic and there was a previous one here you might like to read over. I hope you might be able to join us on the night, but feel free to let us know if there's anything in particular you'd hope to explore 😊

Thanks @TideisTurning 🤗

@Snowie I’ve noticed that Topic Tuesday in December is entitled “end of the year, your way”. This might be something you are interested in.

I have various days during period 23 December to 13 February which can be triggers for me. Some years I’m fine and other years the complete opposite. I’m putting this in my calendar as has caught my eye.

this is first year since 2007 where I’ve had any interest in Christmas ie am thinking about buying Christmas wreath for front door plus some type of solar lights for my front yard

Hi newbie here. I am interested to join tomorrow nigh but I have no idea how. Could somebody please tell me how to join? Thanks 🙂

@Duckie-

Looking forwarded to seeing all your comments in the Peer Group Chat. Hoping to glean from all of you tools and actions I can use to help me with creative focus.

This group has taught me a lot about me. 💕

Oooh I think I can actually make it for a bit, tonight! Yay!

Hi, newbie here - about as techno as a slug! How do I join the Peer Group Chat tonight please?
