Peer Group Chat// Strengths in the Spotlight // Thursday 6th June 2024, 7-8:30PM AEST

Peer Group Chat// Strengths in the Spotlight // Thursday 6th June 2024, 7-8:30PM AEST

On Thursday 6th June 2024, we will be holding a Peer Group Chat on the topic of Strengths in the Spotlight.

When we find ourselves in a place of struggle, we (and others) can be tempted to look at everything that is ‘wrong’. However, let’s look deeper into this and shed light on what it is to use a strengths-based approach.

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.

Hey @Glisten. Sorry you think it’s making you depressed. My Pdoc increased my anti-anxiety and it put me into a deep depression so she decreased it to the previous level.

It’s ok @tyme @Glisten. I’m too stupid to work it out on the computer to! It’s ok as I know I am.

I agree that these are accurate strengths of yours @Captain24 . Absolutely! I wonder if these will change in time?

LOL @ArraDreaming @Captain24 !

I reckon, if we put all our strengths together, we end up covering the spectrum of strengths. This is why we need each other!

For me, your weakness @ArraDreaming , seem to be my strengths, and my weaknesses seem to be your strengths! @Captain24 , Sounds like I'm pretty on par with you in a lot of strengths.

Pretty awesome.
