Howdy everyone
Support Circle will be running as usual on the 28th of April, 7:55pm - 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're expecting to come, please do your best to stay for the whole time. If you know in advance that you can't make the whole chat, let us know beforehand and that's totally cool. The key thing is that nobody's left getting support on their own at the end - fair to say no one wants to be in that position.
Similarly, please stick to Support Circle if you have a place and don't use other sessions. That means everyone in the group is nice and focused on that session, and not getting distracted during other people's support time when the attention should really be on them.

All behaviour is a need trying to be met.
The truth resists simplicity.
