I’d love to meet others in the community who underst and this journey and could use a friendly space to connect.We’ll be gath ering for a gentle Meet &\; Greet — no pressure\, no agenda — just a few friendly faces and a space to share\, listen\, or simply sit with pe ople who get it.I’m from the U.S. (don’t hold that against me 😄). M y regular gig is hosting online events for people with mental health chall enges from all over the world\, and I’ve found that healing feels a litt le easier when we’re not doing it alone.So grab your coffee\, come as yo u are — camera on or off — and join us for a soft start to your Thursd ay.
