To celebrate May's Asian Pacific American History Month and Mental Health Awareness Month, Anise Health is offering a peer support circle focused on coaching for improved self-confidence and self-compassion. This is brought to you in partnership with Love, Bonito, where all participants who complete the 4-week Self-Confidence Coaching Circle will also receive 20% off their next Love, Bonito purchase.
What is a peer support circle?
These are clinician-led small discussion groups, which research shows can increase quality of life by reducing feelings stress and burnout. This recurring group is well-suited for individuals of Asian descent who are looking to connect with peers to discuss topics in a culturally-informed and supportive manner.
What can I expect for the Self-Confidence Coaching Circle?
Collectivist Asian cultures often encourage us to be selfless and to place the needs of our families and communities first. We also are so used to the expectations of achievement and success that when we fall short, we struggle with showing ourselves the same kindness and understanding that we give to others. While these are such uniquely wonderful parts about being Asian, they can make self-compassion and self-confidence feel like secondary priorities. Not anymore - let’s reframe the narrative so we can both embrace our Asian identities AND ‘feel good’ while doing it!
Participants will dive deeper into understanding how confidence shows up for you, how to communicate with presence and authenticity, and review tactical tips to build self-confidence. Participants will meet online for one hour a week across 4 weeks. Each session is led by a mental health professional for $25/week. You have two time slots to choose from:
- Mondays from 3-4pm PST (6-7pm EST)
- Wednesdays from 3-4pm PST (6-7pm EST)
Once you complete this form, you will receive an email with detailed information on the weekly programs and a payment link to complete registration. After conclusion of the curriculum, individuals can continue care on the Anise platform with individualized services or sign up for additional peer support groups.
Any pre-requisites to participate?
- Willingness to be vulnerable, honest, respectful and kind
- Commitment to meet online every week at a predetermined time
- Acknowledgment that this is not group therapy nor a substitute for individualized professional care
- Agreement to Anise Health's Community Guidelines. We will not tolerate harassment, bullying or intimidation on our platform.
