2026 group programs

Peerspace

Created, designed and delivered by peer workers, Peerspace group combines discussions of lived mental health experience with psychoeducation around a wide range of topics, customized for what each young person is interested in exploring.

Some topics include body image, dealing with change, anxiety, shame and guilt, boundary setting and more. With 24 topics to choose from, no two groups look the same, and each week is broken up by social opportunities and arts and craft activities.

This group is perfect for anyone who wants to share their perspective and meet like-minded young people, all while learning about many different topics and developing a diverse toolkit of coping strategies. Currently divided into two age ranges, 12-16 and 17-25.

Term one dates:

• Tuesdays, 20 January 2026 – 24 February 2026. 4-6pm – headspace Corio

Term two dates: Taking referrals
