August 2022 update: The Wellness Studio is committed to providing peer-led support groups that are built on a solid foundation of equity, using peer best-practices and operated by consistent facilitators that share this vision. We are redeveloping peer support groups at the moment and are reducing options during that process. New group offerings and schedules will be published soon and we are excited by the proposed topic areas and ideas.

Hearing Voices
Day/Time: Thursday at 2:00
Description: Hearing voices group is open to those who identify as, or those who are supporting, voice hearers. In this peer facilitated group we talk frankly and nonjudgmentally with one another about the experience of hearing voices. Together we share ideas, solutions, and goals. We are proud to be part of a network that stretches across 20 countries.

Writing Your Way to Wellness
Day/Time: Friday at 3:30-5:00 (Please note new time)
Description: Writing Your Way to Wellness is a peer-led group using creative writing to cope with mental health and/or substance use challenges. We welcome those who enjoy writing and also those who have not written before. Included each week are various writing prompts accompanied by optional sharing. Come express yourself on the page and in an inviting, nonjudgmental community. Witnessing each other's creative words help us feel less alone. We believe every voice matters!
