What should our topic be for Thursday's topic-specific chat?

Hey everyone,

As most of you now know, we've launched a new topic-specific support group on Thursdays. We don't have a theme set for this Thursday's session so we thought we'd create a thread to hear your ideas on what you'd like it to be focused on. :)

The format of this session will be the same as Support Chat (and you don't need to sign up!):
8:00pm - 8:15pm | Opening round
8:15pm - 9:20pm | Support time
9:20pm - 9:30pm | Closing round

Any topic suggestions, feel free to comment them below!

So far the topics we've covered have been family relationships, friendships, anxiety and depression, neurodiversity, loneliness, exam results, university, managing your mental health at school, and SAD. We can always repeat these topics based on what you'd all like us to cover. <3
♡♡♡

    What about trauma and triggers or how to manage triggers <3
    Want to hurt me… go ahead
    Wish to bully me…I’m used to it
    Want to talk crap about me…go on then
    Want to make me cry…feel free

    @Rose113 @eylah thank you both!

    These are great suggestions, so there's no reason we can't book them both in. :)

    Purely because it was the first suggestion and they have equal 'votes' right now, we'll make grief tomorrow's topic and we'll book triggers and how to manage them for next time.

    I know we're confirming these topics with slightly late notice as well (sorry folks some staff shortages) so we can also revisit them in the future with a bit more run-up. :)
    All behaviour is a need trying to be met.
    The truth resists simplicity.
