Members learn alongside like-minded individuals resulting in peer-to-peer learning, developing friendships and a whole lot of fun!
Guys and gals gather weekly with trained staff members and volunteers to discuss life challenges. Together in their small group, they learn and practice social and communication skills, learning from each other as well as from the evidence-based iCan House social skills curriculum. .
