Lovely experience It has been lovely to meet with like minded people and have great, healing conversations without having to make eye contact and being able to do something with my hands. This is a great entry to group therapy.

First Ever Positive Group Experience This is the first group mental health experience that I have undertaken that has been a true benefit to me and my overall wellbeing.

Our session leader, Sam, is super helpful, respectful, and insightful and does a great job guiding our group through conversations while we are each able to use gaming as a way to not only connect to each other, but also to provide a comforting, stable, and positively diverting base beneath us as we work through sometimes difficult topics or moments of personal processing.

Wonderful Little Community It’s been so great to have an outlet every week to talk about life, mental health struggles, and anything else with people who are going through something similar and who care. Our guide is really great and always offers a kind perspective. We are a group of 4 usually and it’s just enough time for everyone to share and have the other group member and guide offer advice and support. Also we play cute games together sometimes :)
