Got a kid, teen, or young adult who is interested in Dungeons and Dragons but doesn't know where to begin? Ask about our 4-week mini campaigns designed as a gentle, neuro-inclusive, supported intro to the exciting world of D&D!

πŸ‰ D&D is a role-playing, dice-rolling, world-building, character-creating game with endless opportunities for self-expression, social communication, problem-solving, boundary-setting, self-advocacy, and most importantly, joy, connection, and lifelong access to a diverse global community where you never know - you might just find your people.

Our intro program consists of a 1:1 session with a D&D specialized social worker and four 90- minute small group sessions. You'll experience character creation, get introduced to the game mechanics, and try your hand at your first adventure!

Sound interesting? Give us a call at 289 678 0581 or email info@nowwhatsupports.ca for more information.

We don't love the deficit-based language used to describe some operating systems, AND - we also recognize that there are challenges that some brains face that don't feel like such a big deal for others. Some of the things we talk about when a kiddo (or adult!) gets a new ADHD diagnosis are:

πŸ‘‰ What does this label actually mean for ME?

πŸ‘‰ What is my 'normal', and how can I communicate this to others?

πŸ‘‰ How might a label help me - and/or hurt me?

πŸ‘‰ What does this change about my home/school/work life?

πŸ‘‰ What does this change about my family relationships & friendships?

πŸ‘‰ How do I harness the legendary 'superpowers' of ADHD without exploding?

πŸ‘‰ How do I start feeling better about myself after having been misunderstood or getting in trouble for the way I operate in the past?

πŸ‘‰ What about me is 'ADHD' and what is just - me?

πŸ‘‰ How can I clearly communicate what I need to be OK, now that I know this new information about myself?

πŸ‘‰ What Hard Things are non-negotiable in life, and what is actually negotiable, avoidable, or adaptable?

The conversation starts here - but it doesn't end here! Learning to understand your unique brain, and how to craft a life that you don't need to avoid, is an epic journey - and we're here for it.
