Making Films and Friends - A Group for Girls & Gender Non-Conforming Youth

For girls and gender-non-conforming youth who are 12yrs+ with ASD and/or difficulties with socialising. Siblings are welcome if they are girls or gender-non-conforming who are 12 yrs +.

What to Expect

Join the Horizons youth team for this hybrid online and in-person social group for girls and gender-non-conforming youth (12+) with ASD and/or difficulties with socialising, who are interested in visual storytelling. 

The focus of the group will be on planning, making and talking about individual and/or collaborative visual storytelling projects based on participants’ interests.  A possible collaborative project could be to produce a video/short film around the theme of what it’s like to be a girl/gender-non-conforming youth on the spectrum. 

This group is for clients and their siblings (if they are also girls/gender-non-conforming youth) ages 12+.

In this program youth will:

  • Interact with other TVCC clients like them
  • Participate in self-expression activities to develop self-awareness
  • Learn different visual storytelling techniques (e.g. video, photography, writing scripts/narration)

Participant Criteria:

  • TVCC clients and their siblings ages 12+ who are girls/gender-non-conforming youth with an ASD diagnosis and/or with difficulties socializing.
  • Able to participate in group activities and discussion with minimal support
  • Interested in art/film/creative projects
  • Participants from outside the London area are welcome to join for the virtual sessions only (3 sessions)
