Peer Group Chat// Befriending Our Feelings // Thursday 4th July 2024, 7-8:30PM AEST

On Thursday 4th July 2024, we will be holding a Peer Group Chat on the topic of Befriending Our Feelings.

Each day, we are faced with a myriad of emotions and feelings. Whilst many expend a lot of energy fighting and pushing out these feelings, tonight we will talk about what it is to ‘befriend’ our feelings and the potential benefits of it.

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.
