Peer Group Chat // Self-Care for the Soul // Thursday 15th August 2024, 7-8:30PM AEST
Living in such busy worlds, we often forget to pay attention to and nurture our body, heart and mind. Let's join tonight to talk about self-care for the soul.
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.
Here are the questions for tonight. Feel free to continue the chat here:
Q1: What does the term ‘self-care’ mean to you? |
Q2: What does self-care look like for you? |
Q3: How can self-care help us in recovery? |
Q4: There is a stereotype that self-care is just ‘bubble baths and a massage’. What are some of the overlooked aspects of self-care we may want to utilise? |
Q5: What are some things that make it hard to engage in self-care? |
Q6: What are some things that help us continue to utilise self-care even when things are really hard? |
Q7: How and when might we involve others in our self-care strategies? |
Here are some further resources we recommend having a look at:
1 Self-care for mental health and wellbeing: https://toolkit.lifeline.org.au/articles/techniques/self-care-for-mental-health-and-wellbeing 2 What is self-care, and why is it so important for your health? https://www.everydayhealth.com/self-care/ 3 Important of self-care planning: https://www.blackdoginstitute.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Importance-of-selfcare-planning.pdf |
