Morning folks!
The next Support Circle will be on Tuesday February 18th, at the usual time of 7.55-9:30pm.
What is Support Circle?
Support
Circle follows the same basic structure as a Support Chat - opening
round, support time, and closing round. The unique thing about Support
Circle is that everyone gets
their own time to chat and be heard by the group, and have their chance
to listen and support others. It's sign-up based so the group is
relatively small, and you can sign-up to get support or to support
others.
It's a great space for people who find it difficult to get their voices heard in regular support chat and/or are keen to listen and support others in a more structured environment. We have places for people who want to come and get support or attend as listeners.

If
you sign up, do your best to be there from 8pm and then stay
until closing, and make sure you don't use the other rooms. This is to
make sure everyone makes the same commitment to the group and everyone
feels listened to.
And if you can spare the time and headspace, please keep us posted about your experience here. It's hugely helpful for us in knowing how you all find Support Circle, and how your experience might change over time. 
All behaviour is a need trying to be met.
The truth resists simplicity.
