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.

Yeah.. I’m pretty proud of my strengths @tyme.. I haven’t re-done the test but I’m happy with what it says. I also agreed with my last ones!! They were all about self care and self love. But that is pretty obvious!

I like how ours a similar. I think that explains a few things!

I can see your strengths @ArraDreamin. Especially love

Does the VIA strengths quiz help you find your strengths @Glisten ? I'm mindful you were a bit unsure of your strengths before, even though others could point them out 🙂

You are a 💯% correct @tyme I don’t trust my own judgment.

Got to say this is definitely me.

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

Nope @Captain24 - I'm DEFINITELY NOT adventurer... pretty amazing - the difference between strengths and personality.

I'm an introvert. It probably doesn't seem like, but I'm pretty antisocial in real life.

Even my own sister didn't realise this until I told her how much I hate gatherings and catch ups. Looking to me from the outside, no one would EVER guess I'm pretty introverted.

Likes like you're pretty introverted too @Glisten ? - based on the results.

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

Yeah.. I don't really get it @tyme..personality wise I’m definitely not an adventurer. I’m introverted, extremely shy and completely anti-social. Adventurer in life though. Such as skydiving, scuba diving, white water rafting to hat kinda thing.

@tyme @Captain24 Absolutely. the same as you tyme.

Small talk is exhausting. But 68,000 people at the football or rock concert, I’m great. Lol
