We celebrate diversity and inclusion while fostering collaboration, teamwork, and leadership among young people. Our group is designed to empower participants by building insights into emotional regulation, empathy, communication, and negotiation.
What We Offer

Led by experienced paediatric and adolescent Occupational Therapists, we facilitate activities and discussions tailored to the diverse needs and interests of the group.
