Your feedback wanted: What do you want to talk about

Your feedback wanted: What do you want to talk about

Hi everyone,

The next Topic Tuesday is coming up on the 26th Aug.

For those who haven't been a part of Topic Tuesday before, Topic Tuesday is a 2 hour block of time (6pm-8pm AEST) to come together & discuss a specific topic. You can find previous Topic Tuesdays here

Every second month we will have a special guest, and on the alternate months, the community (aka YOU!) will be the experts & lead the discussions.

We will discuss topics that matter to you.

We're looking for your feedback on the Topic for next week (26th Aug).

It could be related to research, technology, experiences as a carer, current affairs related to carers, etc (these are just to trigger thoughts & ideas - feel free to think outside of my suggestions)

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Nik

Re: Your feedback wanted: What do you want to talk about

Excellent suggestion Used2Be.

That is such a horrible feeling, reeling from one thing to the next, You feel punch-drunk from life. I think normal is over-rated (well really non-existent, beyond stats) but I think ordinariness is under-rated. In the ordinary we can find space to just be. You might like to check out the lived experience forum thread on mindfulness. it is a way of helping us to just "be" in the midst of the awful as well as the ordinary.

Is that where your moniker comes from? I like it! Take care.

Cheers, Kristin

Hiya,

I'm not sure if I've missed the cut off for suggestions but Use2Be's suggestion is something that I can relate too. Drama has easily become normalised so I'm afraid it's preventing not only how I connect with myself but also with others too. My friends are over it and I'm starting to feel isolated.

I'd love to discuss this topic sometime.

Hi all,

I thought I would reserect this thread, as I saw a post from @Alessandra1992 made a suggestion for a special guest.

her suggestion was an expert who works with young people, to discuss:

'What resources and services are available? Strategies for keeping lines of communication open when we cannot live safely under same roof?'

Please feel free to continue your suggestions and we will aim to follow up as many ideas as possible.
