What to expect
Making and keeping friends isn't always easy. In our weekly social club we get to know each other, explore how friendships work, and build social confidence by finding approaches to social situations that work for us.
Sessions are highly neuro-affirming and combine psycho-education, with fun quizzes and games. Topics covered include making and building friendships, understanding emotions, navigating social interactions and resolving conflict. The space is safe and supportive, giving socially anxious young people the support they need to engage with peers and interact socially in ways that work for them.

What families say
"M gives this a 5! She says it was ‘spoony’ (as in spoon theory- gives her spoons) she says it was really fun and did not use her ‘social battery’. She enjoyed talking about her special interests and hearing about other people’s." 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
"L found the social club session fun. I was really glad that he felt able to interact in the polls and answer some questions. He also really liked reading the answers of the other members. It was really helpful hearing about the leaders own experiences with socialising and making friends and how they felt about school." 🌟🌟🌟🌟
"My daughter thinks it was really fun. They loved the really crazy ‘would you rather’ section.(It was at this point I heard them hooting with laughter!" 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
