Peer Group Chat// Journey of Self-Discovery // Thursday 13th June 2024, 7-8:30PM AEST

On Thursday 13th June 2024, we will be holding a Peer Group Chat on the topic of Journey of Self-Discovery.

Life is a journey. Whilst some people have a relatively straight-forward life journey, otherwise may find themselves navigating the twists and bends of life. So what is it that gets us through life’s journey? Let’s discuss the Journey of Self-Discovery.

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.

Thanks for telling the jokes in the first place @Glisten ! Shows that you are comfy being around us 🙂

Life's pretty awesome... has it's pitfalls, but it's pretty awesome - with everyone here 🙂

Love it.

I WILL get the fires going one day. My nieces and nephews all have asthma so I don't want them to have any ashes or smoke around them... hence the heater for now. There are too many kids in hospital because of their asthma.

Re: Peer Group Chat// Journey of Self-Discovery // Thursday 13th June 2024, 7-8:30PM AEST

Such a great chat tonight. I got so much out of it.

Even just the reminder from @MessyGirl (I think), that crises can open the door to self-discovery.

That self-discovery allows one to hone in on their values and strengths.

Self-discovery allows you to see who you want taking this journey with you, and point out those who may be hindrances.

Thanks for sharing tonight everyone! @Glisten @ENKELI @Snowie @Andarna @Former-Member @WildFlower1 @KittyLove1984 @Shaz51 @7cough9 @ArraDreaming and everyone else.

@tyme @MessyGirl This is going into a daily reminder.
