  • What Is The Plane Jar: Safe Space (Everyday Problems Support Group) About?
    A support group for anyone who just wants an open space to come and share their feelings. Primarily we focus on abuse, mental health and the LGBTQIA+ community.
  • What is your founding story?
    After our very first CAASA training cycle, one of our primary respondents initiated the idea of starting a support group from the idea that they themselves were not open to therapy and thought that a support group was one way to help them heal. They also thought that this will be the best way to introduce means of communication to their best friend who had been abused and was scared of seeking professional help. And so this is how we put their plan into action and started our own little safe space.
  • Who are the facilitators behind The Plane Jar: Safe Space (Everyday Problems Support Group)?
    Nikita Shringarpure (she/her) is a queer affirmative and trauma informed psychologist/psychotherapist who is currently working as research assistant at the Humsafar Trust. Shipra Parswani is the president of TPJ. She is trained as a child abuse primary respondent and has handled several cases of domestic and sexual abuse.

    Notes: The above information may change from time to time, and is shared with you to understand the background of where the support group comes from.
  • When was your support group founded? How has the journey been since then?
    Our support group was founded in 2018 and ever since then its been a roller coaster. We’ve had people leave and had people stay till date. To receive those little notes of appreciation at the end of every session has always motivated us to keep going for them and made us believe in the work that we do. We’ve grown and learned from each and every story that we have heard.
  • Who is your support group for?
    It’s an all inclusive support group for everyone.
  • Explain your group's approach towards helping a person's mental health care.
    The hope that we have is that, with the sharing of so many stories, we learn from everyone’s coping and apply those to our lives too. we also have buddies who check in on the participants every time and even remind hem to stay put and stick to their schedules or even remind them to take their psychiatric medications.
  • What is your group's approach towards professional mental health care interventions?
    If we think that the person is going through a lot which is too much for the primary respondent to handle, we do try to open conversation about seeking professional help. We help them get in touch with a therapist that is on our directory and also try to take appointments with regular check ins with them.
  • What conversations is your support group not equipped to support?
    Up until now we have had every type of conversation in the support group
  • How does one sign up? What’s the coordination process like?
    We send them a google form link after which every week, a volunteer from our organization follows up with them and gets confirmations about whether or not they will be attending
  • Walk us through the average format of your group session.
    Safe Space is will be held every Sunday, from 3-5pm. Each support group session will have a specific topic that will be determined from before. We start off with a feeling scale so people can rate their day, or week and tell us how they feel. We then start conversation on a particular topic that we have planned for that day and end with a grounding or self appreciation activity.
  • What are your home rules/values?
    Everyone’s time should be respected. \n Know that everyone’s way of coping is different and we should respect that. \n Acknowledge the fact that they have taken the first step towards self care by attending. \n If they wish to step out, they can and we will have stand by respondents for them to speak to.
  • What do you hope for participants in your group to take back with them after a session?
    Hope that they are not alone and that we will help in anyway we can to get through this
