Learn from us & from each other

  • I became infatuated with video games from age 5 or 6 - all my friends played them it's the main thing we did. Through this group I was able to let out my thoughts that were bothering me and definitely understand myself better.

    Sidharth

    (he/him)

  • I just had a very emotional discussion. It was probably one of the most helpful things for me in years.

    Anirudh

    (he/him)
