Our Seniors Tea & Tales is all about getting together for an afternoon tea or coffee and a light snack to share experiences and discuss a variety of topics about mental health, or simply to connect with other people in a similar age group!
This group has been meeting regularly for the past two years and is well-established. Members often bring home-baked goods to share, along with various items for our ‘Show & Tell’ segment. After initial introductions/check-in and a short break, the group does a five-minute guided meditation together. The ‘word of the week’, chosen the week before, is usually discussed and a new word is chosen. Lively discussions around group-guided topics often occur. Meetings usually wrap up with a positive affirmation or a quote containing words of wisdom. New members are always welcomed warmly!

Meeting Guidelines
To keep the online support group a comfortable, safe, and inviting place for all, we require participants to abide by the following guidelines. These are reviewed with the group at the beginning of each meeting.
The facilitator may sign you out of the meeting at any time if you are noticed to be breaking the following guidelines:
What is said in the meeting, stays in the meeting
What you hear should be kept confidential and this must be respected by all participants. Our Online Support Room is open to all, so please be aware.
Use “I” language
Share from your personal experience, say “this is what helped me” or “when I was faced with this problem, I …”
Its OK not to share
People do not need to actively participate; much can be gained by just listening. You also do not need to turn on your video/web cam to participate.
Make the group a safe place to share
Kindness and respect for others and their mental health is paramount.
One person speaks at a time
Each person should be allowed to speak at a time. Please listen to your facilitator.
No monopolizing
No one should monopolize the group time.
The group leader may interrupt you
This is to keep the meeting on track and within the timeframe of the meeting.
We are all entitled to our own point of view
Your opinion is welcome, however, no racist, homophobic, sexist comments will be tolerated.
