Why It’s Important: For neurodiverse teens, emotional awareness and self-regulation can be challenging for a range of reasons, such as problems with feeling emotions or sensory sensitivities making emotions feel more intense or harder to understand and control. Emotional awareness and self-regulation are important for social relationships, self-advocacy, achieving personal goals, and building healthy coping strategies. Our group offers a unique space to practice these skills while feeling understood and empowered.
What We Offer:
- Understanding Emotions: Learn to identify, express, and understand a wide range of feelings
- Building Coping Skills: Develop strategies for handling overwhelming emotions in healthy ways
- Self-Regulation Tools: Gain practical techniques to manage impulsive behaviour, anxiety, and stress
- Social & Emotional Skills: Strengthen communication, empathy, and conflict resolution abilities
- Peer Support: Connect with others who share similar experiences in a supportive, non-judgmental setting
- Neurodiverse & LGBTQ2S+ Affirming Care: We create a space that celebrates and respects each individual’s identity. Our approach recognizes the unique neurological experiences of neurodiverse teens while also offering support and validation for LGBTQ2S+ identities. Every participant is seen, heard, and valued for who they truly are.
