Opener Suggestion...
Hi everyone, and welcome to tonight’s WhatsApp live chat which is all about *Managing Anxiety*. We have XX, YY, and ZZ here with you this evening.
There are many things that can spark our anxiety and these can be very different from person to person so please be mindful of each other’s experiences. As always this is a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space.
You’re very welcome to join in whether you’re new to the group, have been here for a while, or have mostly been reading along and now feel ready to say hello.
Please do support each other too, we’re all together in this and you bring so much by sharing your experiences and supporting each other.
Thank you, your peer supporters
Possible Questions to ask during the chat...
Can you recognise when you are starting to feel anxious? What does it look like for you?
How has this changed since you've become a parent?
What support do you have for anxiety (mental health toolkit, techniques, CBT etc)?
What tips/support can we give each other for those anxious moments?
