Hello everyone!
We will not be running a Peer Group Chat for next week, but will be back on Thursday 5th of January 2023, with a Peer Group Chat on the topic of Recognising and Responding to Early Warning Signs.
Learn about Wellness Recovery Action Plans, how to develop one, and how to put it into place when we recognise early warning signs. If we’re able to recognise and appropriately respond to early warning signs, we can minimise the potential severity of mental health impacts, and ensure we’re supported as best as possible. In this group we will support each other to better identify and respond when our mental health might start to decline.
Within this group tonight we’ll be talking about:
- How to recognise and respond appropriately to your early warning signs
- How responding to your early warning signs may help your mental health
- Wellness Recovery Action Plans
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.
The event start times across Australia are below:
This is currently held in daylight savings hours:
WA: 4pm
NT: 5:30pm
