Looking for a fun group of friends to hang out with after school? Come join The Hive, a virtual friendship group for TVCC clients who are ages 14+ and in high school.

Participants will join a group with clients from both Holland Bloorview Children's Treatment Centre and TVCC for games, music, laughter, and conversation. Possible activities include Kahoot, Jeopardy, music games, and more.

Through this program, youth will have the opportunity to:

• Practice social skills through turn taking, group activities, and peer connection.
• Boost their self-confidence through connection and fun with peers.
• Practice communication skills through shared activities and cooperative play.

Participant criteria:

• TVCC clients ages 14+ and in high school.
• A webcam is recommended for full participation. We will also share some apps that will be helpful to download (e.g. Kahoot).
• Able to participate in virtual group activities and discussion with minimal support; participants are welcome to have a support person present to assist them.

These events are a part of Holland Bloorview’s Underhill Virtual Friendships & Participation Project.
