Modern life can be chaotically busy and frequently overwhelming, filling up our lives with work, tasks, and other obligations. Yet we also know that being silly, having fun, and engaging in playfulness, is an essential part of a balanced lifestyle, providing opportunities to relieve stress, sharpen our creativity, and add more joy into our lives. So let's get silly as we chat about the importance of play!  

The event start times across Australia are below:

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.

Hey @Jynx @Patches59 @Jacques @Shaz51 @Captain24 @Alonely @7cough9 and others

 

Looks like Chatwee conked out on us tonight. So sorry! At the same time, perfect timing because...sshh... something tells me we are transitioning to another chat platform soon (watch this space!)

 

That's okay. We had one question left:

 

Q7: For a lil twist – what’s your favourite joke?! 

 

Please share your favourite joke here!

I just got home so I thought I'd join the chat for the last bit but I can't get anything to come up... just seems to time out.  Not sure if it's just me or not.
