Allies & Adventures (Ft. Dungeons & Dragons®)
A popular role-playing game-based therapy group enabling friendship building and social development.
This therapy group gives participants the opportunity to build friendships and other social developments in a safe, structured, and supportive environment. Participants will be supported by experienced mentors to practice their social and communication skills while enjoying role-playing sessions. They will learn to work as a team, including forming plans and problem-solving, engage in a variety of conversations, and above all, have an enjoyable time with their fellow role-players.
Whilst Dungeons & Dragons® is a popular game amongst participants, this group is not exclusively for those with experience with this game. We encourage and welcome other role-playing games that may be of interest to participants.
