Nature-Based Game Group for Social Inclusion

Workshop Overview

Outdoor Therapeutics is offering a short-term, clinician-led group designed for neurodivergent community members who want a supportive, low-pressure space to connect with others, build confidence in social situations, and feel a sense of belonging. We use cooperative and structured nature-themed board games as a fun, accessible way to practice communication, turn-taking, collaboration, and relationship-building—without forced socializing. Each session offers at least two game options, with clinicians available to guide play, support regulation, and adapt to different comfort levels. Participants are welcome to engage at their own pace. Groups will be offered for two age ranges: one for younger participants (ages 8-16) and one for  older teens and adults (ages 17+). Play-based and therapeutic approaches are woven throughout to support learning, connection, and enjoyment.
