As we walk our paths through recovery, we are often told we need to love ourselves more. But self-love can be difficult to define, and it is often an incredibly personal journey that can present us with many challenges. Tonight, we’re going to chat about how we might find those stepping-stones on our path to help us move closer to self-love.
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.

Thank you to everyone who joined tonight. Here are some notes:
Q1: What does the term ‘self-love’ mean to you?
|
Q2: Why might it be difficult for us to love ourselves?
|
Q3: Do you believe self-love is important for our mental health? Why/why not?
|
Q4: Can you share any examples of times where it was quite difficult to love yourself? What about times when it was easy?
|
Q5: Self-love can feel far away, out of reach, or impossible at times, but like anything is a journey. What are some of the ‘stepping stones’ that might help us get closer to it?
|
Q6: How might we involve our supports and our loved ones in this journey?
|
Q7: How might we keep ourselves going when it all feels too hard?
|
