Let's talk about: Autism Awareness🌟
Recently it has been Autism Awareness Day. We think it is really important to raise awareness, whether you are autistic or have a friend or family member who is, the more we understand, the more we can accept and celebrate people's uniqueness. Here is a safe space to share stories and provide opportunities for people to share their thoughts, feelings and experiences with Autism.

  • Weds 8th October for 10-12 years old
  • Weds 15th October for 13-15 years old
  • Weds 22nd October for 16-17 years old

Each Live Forum takes place between 7:30 and 9:00pm. They will go live on the discussion board section of the site within that time!

Community Boundaries🌟
The Live forums are a social space, which means it's only fair that everyone gets a chance to have their say. For that reason, we have decided to introduce a new format to try and keep the forums organised and make sure everyone gets to have their say. We want to get everyone involved, so we can't always publish every comment if you send in lots at once. The forum will be split into 3 parts:

  • 7.30pm - 7.45pm We will be using the first 15 minutes of the forum to say our hellos and have a chit chat about what we’ve all been up to.
  • 7.45pm - 8.45pm The middle hour will be to discuss the topic.
  • 8.45pm - 9.00pm The last 15 minutes will be for a wind-down activity and time to say our goodbyes.

Each live forum takes place between 7.30pm and 9pm. They will go live on the discussion board section of the site within that time. You will need to register anonymously with Kooth for free, then use the link below to access the forums.
