Movie Club is on again next week!! If you are a young person already attending groups with The Social Confidence Collective, check your email! 🍿🎬
Movie Club is a regular social event for young people who want to build their social confidence and connectedness to go to the movies with others. We head to the cinema and hold an OT-facilitated social group afterwards where we chat about the movie over food. Wanna know more? DM for more info or visit the link in our bio.

We're excited to welcome our ACU occupational therapy project students this week. And if you hadn't already gathered by the picture, they're helping us set up a Dungeons and Dragons group!

This will involve searching through current evidence, and meeting with young people who would like to co-design the group.

We look forward to sharing more of the process with you. And if you have any tips or tricks about D&D please drop them in the comments (us older facilitators need some pointers!)

We've been enjoying the Nintendo switch in our groups in the last couple of weeks. Can you believe that we used a lug a TV back and forth to and from this room for A YEAR before we realised we could just plug into the projector?! Oops... 🫣 🫠

We've been playing Mario Kart and Boomerang Fu together. Do you know them?

We're on the hunt for more games that everyone can jump into - bonus points if you don't need prior experience to play! What are your go-to group-friendly switch games? Drop your suggestions below ⬇️

This week, it's Loneliness Awareness Week. This week reminds us that connection isn’t just about being around people—it’s about feeling seen for who we are and it's about feeling understood.

Many of the young people in our groups have experienced social spaces that didn’t work for them. They’ve been left out, misunderstood, or expected to mask just to fit in.

So we work hard to do things differently. We work with the group members individually to set their own goals for attending. We provide choice, and support people to check in with themselves. We provide structure to help group members feel safe. We adjust the environment and the activities, rather than adjusting the person.

That's the reason why we run groups...to help young people feel seen and understood for who they are.

Groups are back on this term, and we have found ourselves a new group member! Just kidding...this is a panda plushie (yes, dressed as a dinosaur 🦖) that one of our group members was given for free around the corner from where we run our groups. They joined the fun in our game of uno :)

Uno is one of our favourite activities for many reasons. But one thing we do know, is each time we play, different rules are up for debate! Can you put Draw Twos on Draw Twos? What about on Draw Fours? Can you end on a power card? Can you put down as soon as you pick up? Tell us what rules you use below 👇🏽

✨ Term 2, that's a wrap! ✨
It's been a busy term, but we are happy to share that there have been more ups than downs here at The Social Confidence Collective. Swipe through to see what we have been up to this past term. We love what we do, and are glad you're here supporting us! Bring on Term 3 🤜🏽

If you haven't signed up to our mailing list, then you wouldn't know that we soon will be welcoming students from Australian Catholic University on a project placement to help us set up a Dungeons and Dragons group! 🐉

Young people are crucial in this set-up phase, as we want to design the group the way young people want (not the way that we want!) so if you or a young person you know would be interested in shaping what our group will be like, then contact us now.

So...are you feeling left out because you didn't know our news earlier? Then sign up to our newsletter now - link in bio to join 📨

The red dragon is the only part of the picture in focus, the rest of the photo, including the other person gamepiece, the board, various die, cards and tokens are out of focus. There is also an out of focus hand in the background.
