6:30p-8:30p A smile yesterday is a smile for today.

This group is 2 hours long and begins promptly at 6:30.

This group is all about finding a tiny reason to smile or a big reason. We begin by sharing how our mental health has affected us recently. Then, we share something positive that has happened in our lives recently. After everyone that wants to share has had the chance to do so, everyone in attendance has the opportunity to ask the host, Kenna, one question. She will answer honestly. Please note, that if there is a substitute host, the question and answer session is up to that host.
I LOOK FORWARD TO SSEING YOU ALL THERE!

**In this group, we share how our mental illness has affected us recently, and then we share something positive that has happened in our lives recently.**

**If you wish to SHARE…**
Like all Mental Wellness peer to peer support groups, you do not have to share, but if you wish to share, please take about 5 minutes to tell us how your Mental Wellness challenge has affected you recently.

**If you wish FEEDBACK...**
...tell us if you would like other members to offer EMPATHY or a SUGGESTION ("*When I was going through what you are, I did 'x' and it worked well*").

**\>\> If you are in crisis or have an emergency\, please call 911 <<**

I look forward to seeing you all!

**DISCUSSIONS**
These groups are not for conversations or discussions. Please do not ask questions of the person sharing, and we do not tell people what they should or should not do.

**VIDEO ON**
Please leave your video on from the start of the meeting until the end. If you need to leave early, or need to briefly turn off your video, please let us know on the CHAT function, that way no one thinks you are disrespecting them as they share.

**CONFIDENTIAL & SAFE**
This is a CONFIDENTIAL & SAFE SPACE. It allows each of us, as peers, to help one another. Please do not disclose to others outside this meeting what you hear in this group and all other groups, and please do not be very graphic.

**PRIVATE LOCATIONS**
Please ensure YOU are in a private location for the meeting. Members do not wish to have their private matters heard by others, such as if you were to join on a public bus or in a library. If you must join while commuting on your way home, please use earphones so that no one else hears what is said in the meeting.

**VOLUNTEERS**
This is a volunteer effort. The people who run this group and all others are volunteers. None of us is a professional, although almost all facilitators have Mental Health First Aid training. If you need professional help, these groups may not be for you.

**CONCERNS**
If something in the meeting concerns you, please let the facilitator know. If you are still concerned, please send the organizer a message through the MeetUp system, or email: [jason@mentalwellness.help](mailto:jason@mentalwellness.help)

**\>\> If you are in crisis or if this is an emergency\, please call 911 <<**
