Hey Peers! We have an amazing free resource to share with you guys esp for those who are interested in seeking mental help and wellbeing. š«¶
About the groups:
These groups were started by someone who has lived-experience with a mental wellness challenge, and have been in operation since 2015.
The groups are FREE and CONFIDENTIAL.
Format:
The format is one hour long. Each person may (but doesnāt have to) share how their mental wellness is affecting them. They can then get āfeedbackā from another member (which is empathy or a technique which has worked for that other memberā¦none of us will tell someone what they āshouldā doā¦as none of us is a professional).
Benefits:
The groups have been very popular as they offer three significant benefits:
1. Members learn that they are not alone, and that there are others like them suffering;
2. Members can unburden themselves to a sympathetic earā¦rather than continue to over-burden their spouse or parents who donāt have the lived-history to help;
3. Members can get real-world suggestions of techniques which others have used successfully.
