On Thursday 27th June 2024, we will be holding a Peer Group Chat on the topic of Cultivating Happiness.

Happiness can sometimes feel elusive, out of reach, or unobtainable. But it is something we can cultivate in our lives. Join us this week as we chat about carving out space for the good stuff!

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.

@tyme I want to attend the PGC tonight because I like hanging out with my Forum friends.

But I can’t handle the pressure to be happy.

I need validation that I’m doing well dealing with a difficult situation with limited resources.

Regular sleep, leaving the apartment, putting together paperwork that my lawyer needs, paying the lawyer. Having a shower and brushing my teeth is Olympic level of coping right now.
