Peer Group Chat // Laughing It Out // Thursday 8th December 2022, 7-8:30PM AEDT
Our Peer Group Chat on Thursday 8th December 2022 will be on the topic of Laughing It Out.
Finding humour in difficult situations can be a great coping mechanism. Let’s come together to discuss how having a laugh and incorporating humour into our lives can help us to cope with everyday complexities.
Within this group tonight we’ll be talking about:
- How humour can benefit us in practice
- Navigating our respective boundaries, in terms of what is and isn’t ok to laugh about
- Mental health memes!
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 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: 4pm
NT: 5:30pm
SA: 6:30pm
QLD: 6pm
NSW, ACT, VIC & TAS: 7pm
This is held at daylight saving time!
