Afternoon everyone! Hope my fellow indoorsy pale people are enjoying the cooler weather.
The
next support circle will be on Tuesday 29th, at the usual time of 7:55-9:30pm, modded by Laine.
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

Try
your best to stay for the whole session if you sign up to come. That
just makes sure nobody feels left out at the end when other people have
left and it's their turn to share.
Similarly, it's important to stick to
Support Circle if you do sign up and not go into other rooms, just so you're nice and present in the group and ready to support the other folks in the session.
Both of these things help make sure
everyone feels equally listened to in the group.
All behaviour is a need trying to be met.
The truth resists simplicity.
