Join us on a ‘Glimmer Journey'

Thu, Nov 12 | 1:30PM - 2:30PM UTC
Many of us may experience more triggers than glimmers in our daily lives, which can make it difficult to stay positive and focused on the good things. However, even in the most challenging times, there are moments of hope, joy, and positivity that we can hold onto as glimmers of light in the darkness. During this session, each of you is invited to share your own glimmers with the group. A glimmer can be anything that brings a moment of positivity, joy, or hope into your life, no matter how small. It can be a kind word from a friend, a beautiful sunset, a funny joke, or a successful moment at work. We will listen without judgment and offer support and encouragement to one another as we share our glimmers. Through sharing our glimmers, we can remind ourselves that there is still good in the world, even when it may feel like there isn't. By focusing on these moments of positivity, we can shift our perspective and find the strength to keep going, even in the face of challenges. We hope that this session will provide a space for each of us to connect, support one another, and find glimmers of hope together. The above was drafted by ChatGPT with the prompt: "Prepare a two-paragraph summary for a sixty-minute peer-support session entitled "Tell us about your 'glimmers' please" for 10-12 individuals who experience far more 'triggers' than 'glimmers' in their daily lives" and then personalized by JackB.

Topic context

Understanding seasonal affective disorder

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) can bring waves of fatigue, sadness, and disconnection as seasons change — particularly during darker, colder months. Many people dismiss it as “winter blues,” which can lead to feeling unseen or misunderstood. Peer support sessions provide warmth and understanding during these low-energy times. Sharing coping strategies and simply knowing others feel the same can restore hope and motivation. It’s a reminder that the season will pass — and you don’t have to face it alone.

Why it helps

How peer support helps with seasonal affective disorder

Peer support helps with seasonal affective disorder because symptoms can be isolating, confusing, or hard to explain to people who have not lived it. Hearing from peers can reduce shame, create perspective, and make coping feel more possible in day-to-day life.
