Let’s Discuss The Meh Ⓡ is a safe brave space for those struggling with emotional distress. It is a space to talk about anything that you are going through. A psychologist with lived experiences facilitates the discussion while six other participants hold space for each other as they share. Those who attend our session find a sense of belonging, hard laughter (where we laugh at the hard stuff in life) and tools they can use in their own time ♥ The Meh Ⓡ is an overwhelming feeling of emotions and thoughts - sadness, loneliness, worry, boredom, disconnection and so on. The Meh Ⓡ is a simple way to articulate that you’re not okay

Mithra Trust commits to maintaining a safe and brave space for the queer community and for survivors of all forms of sexual, physical, emotional, and gender-based violence.

At Mithra trust, we believe healing happens in community. Our approach is rooted in the power of connection, shared experiences, and compassionate listening.

These are some of the core values that guide our space:

• A Sense of Belonging: Knowing you are not alone can be deeply healing. This group offers a space where people can come as they are, without judgment or pressure. Articulating Thoughts & Experiences: Sharing what’s on your mind and having it received with love can be transformative. Sometimes, just putting words to what we feel is a step toward healing.
• Lived Experience & Expertise Side by Side: We believe that professional knowledge and lived experience both bring valuable insight. Having a facilitator who understands mental health from both perspectives makes this space unique.
• A Safe & Brave space: We make space for vulnerability, missteps, and the discomfort that comes with self-reflection—because that’s part of the healing process too.
• Practical Tools & Coping Strategies: While sharing and connection are key, we also focus on learning tangible ways to navigate mental health challenges, grounded in compassion and kindness

1. Providing a safe space in itself can be healing.
2. Listening to others share can increase a sense of belonging and makes you feel like you’re not the only one going through something.
3. Having access to engaging tools and using them right there, provides people with the strength that they can deal with it on their own.
4. The weightlessness felt after sharing is something that is so special.
5. We do not force a person to share, most of the time they come into the session saying I don’t think I’ll share too much and as early as 15 mins in they’re being totally honest and vulnerable.

This is our approach. To provide people with the space and tools to just be together in the most kind, non-judgemental and compassionate way.

Let’s Discuss The Meh is a safe brave space for sharing experiences, building connections, and exploring strategies for well-being. However, there are certain types of conversations that fall outside the scope of what we can provide:

• Diagnosis: We are not equipped to diagnose mental health conditions or provide clinical assessments.
• Immediate Crisis Support: We cannot address ongoing crises or emergencies. If you or someone you know is in immediate need of help, please contact a licensed professional, crisis hotline or a medical centre.
• Group Therapy: This is not a therapy group, it is therapeutic as it offers peer support and a shared space for self-reflection and self-expression

Our sessions are 2 hours and 30 minutes long and are structured to create a safe, open, and reflective space for everyone. Here’s what a typical session looks like:

• Check-In – We begin with a short check-in where each person shares how they are feeling as they enter the space. This helps us acknowledge where we are emotionally and set the tone for the session.
• Invitations for a Safe & Brave Space – We revisit the principles that guide our space, ensuring it remains one of mutual respect, honesty, and care. Illustrations as Starting Points – We introduce illustrations that serve as catalysts for sharing. These are carefully chosen to help ease into conversations.
• Thematic Sharing & Discussion – As participants share their thoughts and experiences, common themes emerge. We allow the discussion to naturally unfold, creating space for reflection, support, and insight.
• Bio Break (5 Minutes) – We take a short break for rest and reset.
• Continuation of Discussions, Stories & Questions – After the break, we continue exploring thoughts, stories, and questions that arise. This segment is flexible and shaped by the group’s needs in that session. Grounding & Check-Out – We close with grounding exercises and a final check-out,

Each session is designed to be a balance of openness, structure, and care, allowing participants to engage in meaningful conversation while also feeling held in a supportive environment.

Respectful Communication – We listen fully and do not cut people off. We don’t talk down to anyone or dominate conversations. Sharing, Not Prescribing – When offering what has helped us, we share our experience as a story rather than as advice or a “fix.” Names & Pronouns – We call each other by first names and respect each person’s pronouns. Confidentiality – What is shared in the space stays in the space. Space for Mistakes – We are all learning and unlearning. This space allows for growth, including making mistakes and taking accountability when needed.

These are some of the that values help us build a space where people can show up as they are, feel seen, and connect with others in a meaningful way.

1. Feeling heard.
2. Feeling validated.
3. Feeling respected.
4. Lighter.
5. Sense of belonging.
6. Know they always have a safe brave space
