It feels like a safe space It feels like a safe space and I love that I’m encouraged to do something chill in the background. Playing something not too distracting like animal crossing helps me stay focused

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. Many tries at traditional group therapy in the past have lead to inevitably giving up and feeling even more demoralized and broken than before, so it is a welcome change and a huge relief to find an experience that is constructive for me and not alienating or uncomfortable to participate in. 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. I am glad to have learned of Hero Journey Club and to have been brave enough to give it a go!

They kicked me out of their discord bc… They kicked me out of their discord bc I told them I was disabled and couldn't afford every single week. So, they refunded me and basically told me to come back when I can afford it. Do not recommend. Discrimination at its finest. Edit: they don't even deny that they kicked me out for this reason. Actually amazing. Screw yall if you think discrimination is okay and trying to justify it. Bye.

I really like Dina I really like Dina. She’s a very good guide and nudges us to share without pushing too hard. The group feels very comfortable and inviting and has become a really nice safe place over these last few weeks.

Low Pressure Safe Space I just really enjoy the low pressure safe space that is created in these sessions. I feel like I can show up however I am feeling that day and I'll be welcomed without judgement. The topics we discuss and insights from the facilitator and fellow journeyers can be really helpful.
