  • Groups meet weekly on Zoom for 90 minutes.
  • Group is led by a clinician/educator along with a previously identified teen or young adult Dungeon Master. 
  • Groups are open to anyone, anywhere in the world, as they are not therapy groups. Insurance cannot be billed for these groups.
  • Any youth who identify as comfortable in LGBTQ space or wanting to explore LGBTQ space are welcome. Game play is LGBTQ affirming and youth tend to play as out queer characters. Youth will not typically be in the position of needing to discuss their personal identities except as they choose to. 
  • Our social environment is neurodiversity affirming, learners tend to be neurodivergent, and we aim to be open and responsive to any stated or apparent needs. Communicating through text chat, voice, or a combo are all great. Facilitator employs a model of universal social skills in which youth receive explanations of social skills such as asking for consent before offering advice, understanding the difference between fact and opinion, using coping skills to handle disappointment. 
  • Players should have basic familiarity with the game, such as watching others play or via YouTube. We are low-key and friendly and happy to help out players who don't have all of the rules of gameplay memorized. Beginners are very much welcome!
  • Group is $10 per week, charged weekly. Sliding scale is available for those with financial need.

Ages 8-12
6:30-8:00 Mondays Eastern U.S. time
