SUMMARY:Fall Mental Health Peer Support Group (virtual) with Access Living
DESCRIPTION:The Peer Mental Health Support Group is an opportunity for Disabled-identifying people and those exploring their relationship to disability identity to share and hold space for one another in an accessible and virtual setting. \nFacilitated by disabled art therapist Bri Beck\, LCPC\, ATR\, this group is meant to offer an opportunity for participants to share current concerns\, thoughts/emotions\, and offer support to others through validation\, encouragement\, and even practical ideas to cope. This group will also explore art as an emotional outlet. \nThis group is not considered\, nor should it be a substitute for traditional group therapy\, however\, topics of mental health\, emotional wellness\, self-advocacy\, and healthy relationships will be addressed in a structured and confidential space. Participants may attend as many or as little group meetings as needed. Group norms will be reviewed every week. \nJoin the group via Zoom \nZoom Meeting ID: 818 5920 1086\nZoom Meeting Passcode: AL2023 \nFor any questions\, please email bbeck@accessliving.org. \nFall 2023 meeting dates are as follows:\n(Off September 4 – Labor Day)\nMonday\, September 11\nMonday\, September 18\nMonday\, September 25 \n(Off October 2)\nMonday\, October 9\nMonday\, October 16\nMonday\, October 23 \n(Off October 30)\nMonday\, November 6\nMonday\, November 13\nMonday\, November 20 \n(Off November 27)\nDecember 4\nDecember 11\nDecember 18 \nAccess Information: \nAutomatic captioning is available in Zoom. \nDue to high demand for live captioning (CART) and ASL interpretation services during the COVID-19 pandemic\, we are asking participants to submit access requests 2-3 weeks in advance.
