Peer-to-peer support is a format that The New Normal Charity has proudly adopted from its inception in May 2018. We feel that one of the best forms of therapy is to talk to others with similar life experiences. We have been helping people through life's difficult moments for over three years now- facilitating conversations between individuals who find themselves in very similar positions. We aim to ensure that no one feels alone or isolated, no matter what they go through. Our spaces are all free, open, and non-judgemental. Aside from our peer support meetings, we partner with those in the health and fitness industry to highlight the connection between our physical and mental health. We offer webinars to help educate organisations and panel talks to raise awareness and understanding for people struggling with their mental health or their grief. \nInstagram @tnnhongkong\nGet in touch via email jess@thenewnormalcharity.com" } ] } ] ```
