Trying Together: A Peer Group for Works in Progress

Please note: this event will be held in person at Glasgow Zine Library.

Trying Together is a peer support group that gives creatives space to reflect on the highs and lows of their month.

Using six open questions we give people the chance to open up on what's on their mind - from demanding clients to looming imposter syndrome, alongside life's everyday stresses.

Hosted by Ophelia and Phoebe this is a safe peer support space where we are all encouraged to share what feels safe and comfortable to do so amongst peers.

Please note, this is a space to talk and listen, but we are not qualified counsellors and if you feel like you need medical help, please contact your GP.

Trying Together operates a safer spaces policy and is free to attend.
