Teen After School Board Game and Art Club (Ages 12-17)

Connection Without Pressure: The Therapeutic Hangout for Teens

For many teens, group interactions feel stressful and overwhelming. This club is designed as a relaxed, low-pressure environment where genuine social connection is built around shared interests, not forced conversation.

Whether your teen feels socially isolated, finds group interactions anxiety-inducing, or simply loves board games and creative art activities, this is a space where they truly belong.

 

What They’ll Gain:

  • Authentic Connection: Real friendships with other teens who get them.

  • Skill Building: Board games provide practice in impulse control, frustration tolerance, and flexible thinking in a fun way.

  • Comfort & Acceptance: A safe space where there is no pressure to socialise in a particular way or perform. Just show up, do what interests you, and let friendships develop naturally.

What We Do

We create a comfortable hang-out space where teens naturally connect:

  • Board Games: We use structured games to practice social rules, patience, and problem-solving skills without feeling like "therapy."

  • Art Projects: Creative art activities provide a parallel activity—teens can sit side-by-side and connect without constant eye contact, making social interaction easier.

  • Flexible Socialising: Teens can participate as much or as little as they want. Connection happens best when you're doing something you actually enjoy.
