The online nature of the group sessions appeal to teens who might be shy or nervous, and supports participants who may be usually wary of group situations or social interaction. The format also suits teens who are comfortable connecting and chatting in an online gaming or social environment.
Run by experienced speech and language pathologists and skilled group facilitators, Amy Coleman, Nicole Guinan and Sallyann Murray, participants will be guided through each weekly session, building a tool kit of questions, strategies and resources to prepare them to communicate more confidently. Amy, Nicole and Sallyann will brief each person prior to the sessions commencing to appropriately place them with other suitable participants and touch base approximately one month after to course to see how participants are going using their tool kit.
