Gifted Young Adult Online Support Group

We talk constantly about what it's like to be a gifted child, but what happens when a gifted child becomes a gifted young adult? It's a loaded question, but one thing we know for sure is that their giftedness doesn't go away - and that's exactly why SENG is hosting a Young Adult Support Group! This support group will provide a safe and welcoming environments where gifted young adults can gather to not only discuss the facts of giftedness, but to explore the realities of what it means to be a gifted young adult.

Topics will include:

• Gifted 101
• Embracing your Giftedness
• Intensities and Overexcitabilities
• Managing Stereotypes
• Shifting Family Dynamics
• Gifted Relationships
• Gifted Friendships
• College and Work Survival Skills

We hope that all of our gifted young adult community will join us in this journey towards understanding what it truly means to be young and gifted!
