Hi everyone!
Our next Peer Group Chat on Thursday 25th August 2022 will be on the topic of Creativity.
You don’t necessarily have to think of yourself as a creative person to benefit from creativity relating to your mental health! Being creative can be valuable for general self-care and wellbeing, connection with others, and as a coping strategy or outlet for expression of strong emotions. Join us for a peer-based discussion where we can share ideas, experiences, and learn from each other!
For those unfamiliar to Peer Group Chats, each focuses on a specific topic and is guided by Peer Workers with lived experience of mental health issues and recovery. A counsellor is also present to assist in ensuring 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.
The event start times across Australia are below:
WA: 5pm
NT & SA: 6:30pm
QLD, NSW, ACT, VIC & TAS: 7pm
