Learners will build connection to promote wellness. Having fun is important for our brains.
I've facilitated the Making Friends groups on Outschool since 2017. I believe a safe space that centers young voices is important. I suggest games, say silly stuff, and share creative things to get the party started and then try to stay out of the way. A few of my favourite reviews: Apr 4, 2020 My son loves joining in and making new friends and playing games, Thank you Carly for putting all this together. Your child will enjoy this class it is so much fun. Cindy Making Friends (Ages 9 to 12) Ongoing Apr 27, 2020 This has been a great place for my 13 year old daughter to be interacting with other kids her age. She really enjoys it. I can always hear heraughing across the house while shes in her class. The teacher and students in this class make her feel welcome and comfortable being herself. 1 person found this helpful Raven R. Making Friends | Teens Jan 29, 2020 When reviewing his courses for the week, I ask my son, "Do you want to continue the Making Friends class?" His reply is always, "YES!!" Ms. Carley is sweet! She is fun and encouraging, as she gently guides the kids through the different game play each week. I LOVE IT, MOM!! And begins to tell me about the different personalities he meets each week! I LOVE IT TOO! 2 people found this helpful Lori G. Making Friends (Ages 9 to 12) Ongoing May 21, 2020 My son loved this class. He looked forward to it every week. He is excited to sign up again and continuing making friends. Developing social skills has always been a challenge for him and he thrived in the class. The class gave him confidence and opportunities to engage and interact using his developed skills while being led by Ms. Carly. 1 person found this helpful Janet R.

This group is trauma informed. That means we don't play around with potentially traumatic topics including murder and violence. All topics are welcome for discussion but trauma will not be our party theme. This includes murder mystery games. This group is inclusive. That means that autistic and neurodivergent communication styles are welcome. Learners may share special interests as often as they want to. Bullying type behaviours will result in removal without refund. Thanks for understanding this effort to provide a safe space for all. Swear words, racy videos, and violent images are not allowed. Treat Outschool like a public place. Make sure you know the Outschool Community Standards. https://support.outschool.com/en/articles/16039-community-standards
For your safety, any disclosures of plans to harm yourself or someone else, someone you know who is being harmed, or someone planning to harm you will be reported to safety@outschool.com
