SUMMARY:Fall Peer Mental Health Support Group
DESCRIPTION:The Fall Peer Mental Health Support Group is an opportunity for Disabled-identifying people and those exploring their relationship to disability identity to share and hold space for one another in an accessible and virtual setting. \n\n\n\nFacilitated by disabled art therapist Bri Beck\, LCPC\, ATR\, this group is meant to offer an opportunity for participants to share current concerns\, thoughts/emotions\, and offer support to others through validation\, encouragement\, and even practical ideas to cope. Also\, the group members will explore art as an emotional outlet. \n\n\n\nThis group is not considered\, nor should it be a substitute for traditional group therapy. However\, topics of mental health\, emotional wellness\, self-advocacy\, and healthy relationships will be addressed in a structured and confidential space.  \n\n\n\nParticipants may attend as many or as few group meetings as needed. Group norms will be reviewed every week. \n\n\n\nYou can email bbeck@accessliving.org with any questions or access needs. \n\n\n\n\nJoin the group via Zoom\n\n\n\n\nAdditional Details for Joining via Zoom: \n\n\n\nMeeting ID: 818 5920 1086 \n\n\n\nZoom Meeting Passcode: AL2023 \n\n\n\n\nFall 2023 meeting dates: \n\n\n\n\nSeptember: \n\n\n\n\nMonday\, September 11\n\n\n\nMonday\, September 18\n\n\n\nMonday\, September 25\n\n\n\n\nOctober: \n\n\n\n\nMonday\, October 9\n\n\n\nMonday\, October 16 \n\n\n\nMonday\, October 23\n\n\n\n\nNovember: \n\n\n\n\nMonday\, November 6\n\n\n\nMonday\, November 13\n\n\n\nMonday\, November 20\n\n\n\n\nDecember: \n\n\n\n\nMonday\, December 4\n\n\n\nMonday\, December 11\n\n\n\nMonday\, December 18\n\n\n\n\nAccess Information:\n\n\n\nAutomatic captioning is available in Zoom.  \n\n\n\nDue to high demand for live captioning (CART) and ASL interpretation services\, we are asking participants to submit access requests 2-3 weeks in advance.

SUMMARY:Peer Mental Health Support Group Summer Check-In

This group will also explore art as an emotional outlet. \n\n\n\nThis group is not considered\, nor should it be a substitute for traditional group therapy though topics of mental health\, emotional wellness\, self-advocacy\, and healthy relationships will be addressed in a structured and confidential space.
