WHAT IS A SENG COMMUNITY GROUP?
SENG Community Groups (SCG) are in-person or virtual groups for gifted individuals, parents of gifted and twice-exceptional children, or professionals in gifted education. Groups are for adults (individuals ages 18+), and are designed specifically to address some of the unique issues, needs, and challenges faced by diverse gifted communities across the globe. Meetings are run by at least two SENG trained facilitators who will guide you in safe and confidential conversations.

CERTIFIED FACILITATORS
Our facilitators are trained in our specific group format. SENG provides complimentary quarterly professional development. Importantly, SENG Community Group facilitators are peer-support providers, not mental health practitioners. They facilitate groups for parents, caregivers, educators, and gifted adults.

At the last session, you will be asked to complete a feedback form on your experience in the group. This information will be shared with SENG in order to improve our offerings and make any needed updates to our formatting.
