Teens Group: May - In-Person Meeting

About our Group

Our Teens group is for teens with Autistic teens, and those with a similar Neurodivergent profile to meet and hang out to play games or chat while their parents / carers meet in another room at the same venue to chat, provide support and share ideas and advice.

Teens will be supervised by our Teens Mentors.
In another room at the same venue, parents will be met by our Parents Contact to chat and exchange experiences.

The Teens Team:

Callan T, Callan B, Amelia, Shannen - Volunteer Mentors
Sandy - Parent Contact

Volunteers needed

We’re looking for volunteers aged 18 and older to help out as Teens Mentors so we can continue to run in-person activities. If you’re interested, please complete our online volunteer application or contact AV admin for more information.

All AV volunteer group leaders share the lived experience of their group participants and welcome new attendees. All AV volunteers have a Working with Children Check.

Each teen must be accompanied by one parent or carer.

A parent or carer must attend with their teen and must remain on site for the duration of the activity.

We understand that another parent or family member may wish to join the activity, however we can only accommodate one adult per registered teen, and we are unable to accommodate additional adults on the night.

Cost: $10 for members, $15 for non-members, FREE for +Groups membership holders and first-time attendees.

What is Discord?

Discord is a free voice, video and text chat app for teens and adults aged 13 and over. Teens can access Discord via their computer or smart phone. Using Discord, they can join servers they have been invited to, create private servers with their friends, or message each other individually or in group chats. We suggest reading the Parents' Guide to Discord Blog before joining for the first time.

Is it safe for our teens to use?

Yes. Autism Valued have created a dedicated, secure server for our Teens group. Only registered participants can access the AV Teens Discord server, and the link changes monthly for security. Our moderators have the list of registered teens and will only allow them to be online during the meeting.
