📣 Exciting update — Unmasked Space is expanding!

After listening to feedback from our community, we’re now offering:
• Unmasked Space for Teens (ages 13–19)
• Unmasked Space for Young Adults (ages 18–25ish)
• Plus Unmasked in the Wild social events that bring connection into the community (game nights, coffee meet ups, hikes, snowshoeing, museums, and more)

The Unmasked Space is a peer-based mental health support and community group for teens and young adults who identify as neurodivergent — or who are simply looking for a supportive space where they fit. It’s a low-pressure place to show up as you are, without needing to mask, perform, or explain yourself.

🧠💛 You don’t need a formal diagnosis to attend.
If you think you belong, you probably do.

There’s no registration required for Unmasked Space groups — just come when you can. For Unmasked in the Wild events, we prefer registration for planning purposes, but last-minute joiners are always welcome.

To help keep these spaces safe and comfortable, we ask that participants attend the groups and events intended for their age range. Participants who are 18 or 19 are welcome to attend either the teen or young adult groups and events — or both — depending on where they feel most comfortable.

📅 Check out the winter schedule in the image below. Whether you've been with us before or are looking to try something new, we invite you to attend!
