This group uses Dungeons & Dragons as a structured, therapist-led environment to build social skills, emotional awareness, and confidence in teens. Through collaborative storytelling, students practice communication, perspective-taking, problem-solving, and managing social anxiety in a low-pressure, engaging format. The game naturally creates opportunities to navigate peer interactions, tolerate frustration, and develop flexibility, while also giving quieter members space to find their voice. The focus is on helping teens feel more competent and comfortable in social settings, with skills that translate directly into school, friendships, and everyday life.
