Peer Group Chat// Feeling Isolated and Lonely // Thursday 18th April 2024, 7-8:30PM AEST

On Thursday 18th April 2024, we will be holding a Peer Group Chat on the topic of Feeling Isolated and Lonely.

In this chat we will be discussing feelings of isolation and loneliness, and how we might be able to feel more connected with others. Let’s come together to hopefully feel a little bit less lonely!

The event start times across Australia are below:

This is currently held in Australian Eastern Standard hours:

WA: 5pm

NT: 6:30pm

SA: 6:30pm

QLD: 7pm

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.

Peer Group Chats are hosted outside of the forums, using a platform called Chatwee. To join an Online Peer Group Chat, you will need to register for an account with Chatwee. On the night, follow this link and log in to your Chatwee account before the group starts.

Please see this FAQ for any questions you may have. For any issues on the night, please message the moderator of the group on the Chat platform. If you'd like to receive a reminder closer to the event, please support this post & we'll keep you updated.

I enjoy interacting with people in the few social activities which take up part of my time.

Majority of the time I’ve at home with my cats, do what I want when I want. Miss having another human in the house at times but most of the time I enjoy my own company.

similar as @tyme @said …. Alone, yes. Lonely, hardly every

Nice @Former-Member 🙂

I'm starting to like cats a little, but I think I'm still a dog person lol.

At the moment, I'm a pet-free person because I don't have the time to dedicate to a pet and feel it's not fair on them.

Pets can certainly bring so much joy to a person's life 🙂
