Supporting Emotional Needs of The Gifted/2e Group
This SENG-based in-person group is for gifted individuals who are themselves gifted and/or twice-exceptional (2e) or have children who are gifted/2e (both gifted and have learning differences like ASD, ADHD, dyslexia, anxiety, and others) OR professionals in gifted education. As a SENG trained group facilitator (www.sengifted.org/scg), I use a framework for safe and confidential conversations. Groups are designed specifically to address some of the unique issues, needs, and challenges faced by diverse gifted communities. Topics include:
characteristics of giftedness, motivation, perfectionism, discipline, peer relations, sibling relations, hypersensitivity, communication of feelings, multipotentiality, and parent relationships.

Climate Café
What is a climate café? It is…
• An informal, open, respectful, confidential space to safely share emotional responses and reactions related to the climate and environmental emergency.
• A space for exploration of thoughts, feelings, and experiences about the climate crisis.
• A quiet, reflective experience - a haven from usual busyness and activity.
• Not designed to lead participants to any conclusion or toward action; actions may be discussed, but reflection and community are the goal.
"The climate café was so uplifting and motivating. I genuinely feel so relieved, while also more connected on campus after the café and will be reflecting on it for a long time." – Climate Café Attendee
As a trained climate café facilitator by Climate Psychology Alliance North America (https://www.climatepsychology.us/climate-cafes), I have found using a group setting to help process heavy and deep feelings about climate to be highly beneficial.
The group meets on the ground floor of 1115 Bethel Road, Columbus, OH 43220 as well as GROW Modern Mental Wellness, 2939 Kenny Rd, Suite 201, Columbus, OH 43221.
