Peer Group Chat // Taking A Stand Against Invalidation // Thursday 22nd February 2024, 7-8:30PM AEDT
On Thursday 22nd February 2024, we will be holding a Peer Group Chat on the topic of Taking A Stand Against Invalidation.
Invalidation can happen when someone’s experiences are judged as invalid or incorrect, are misrepresented, rejected, ignored or dismissed. Join us to discuss our thoughts and experiences with invalidation and its impacts, and how we can take a stand against further or future invalidation.
The event start times across Australia are below:
This is currently held in daylight savings hours:
WA: 4pm
NT: 5:30pm
SA: 6:30pm
QLD: 6pm
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.
Anyone is welcome to join! Tagging some members who may be interested below: @Snowie @scruffypuffball @7cough9 @Glisten @Blackbird11 @Shaz51 @Fiefke @Patches59 @Appleblossom @Meggle @Jacques @deshift @Captain24 @Cali_Rose
