Support Circle (Sunday 26/11/17)

Hey everyone!

We're excited to announce that we'll be running one support circle each month on a Sunday instead of a Tuesday!

The next Support Circle will be Sunday 26 November, 8-9.30pm with the wonderful Jo. smile.gif

What is Support Circle?

For anyone who doesn't know, a support circle chat follows the same basic structure as a standard support chat session - opening round, support time, and closing round. Everyone that signs up will have their own time to chat and be heard by the group, and have their chance to listen and support others.

Why go to Support Circle?

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 both people who want to come and get support or be listeners and support others.

Places are limited, so sign up using the form below and we will contact you via private message to confirm your place. yes.gif

If you don't have a boards account, please let us know your email address so we can contact you. If you do have a boards account, please let us know your username. thumb.gif

    Hey folks,

    Just an FYI here that this session is proving to be very popular, so we're now full! If anyone signs up now, they'll be added to the list for the next one (Tuesday 5th). :)

    Cheers everyone! Glad we decided to do this. :d

    Go in through the normal way so press support chat or general chat and then go down to workshop room if you struggle at all go into support chat and someone will be able to help in there.

    Some people think I am unhappy. I'm not. I just approach silence in the world that never stops talking.

    erm, still unsure - tried it. Christ, why is the chat place so obscure?

    @Princese on the list of what chats are available there should be a room called workshop room that's where support circle is. Hope you find it.

    Hey @Princesa I'm really sorry that you're having problems finding the Workshop room. You can find it by following this link here. It will list all the chat rooms, and the workshop room is the 4th one on the list.

    All the best,
