This weekend at Fort Collins Comic Con!

We are so excited to be invited to Fort Collins Comic Con! Our founders will be there on a rotating schedule all weekend, make sure to stop by and check us out!

We are debuting our Roll For Regulation adult group with partners Trevor and Caleb on Mondays, a social flourishment group with Caleb on Tuesdays, and a 10 and under group focused on developmental screening with our Occupational Therapist, Deana!

On Sunday at 1:15 PM in the Millenium Falcon, we have been invited to do a panel to show off what we are all about, and we have taken that challenge, so we are presenting Meaning Quest: The Power of Roleplaying for Growth and Connection! Stop by to see as all four of us put our reputations on the line while we play improvised D&D on stage! Our founding counselor and the reason we get to do any of this, Eric, will provide an introduction and explain the benefits of therapeutic roleplaying and how we hide it into the narrative after our presentation.

More details are on the Comic Con website, here!

Tickets are still available for Fort Collins Comic Con, be sure to check it out here!

The Collective Draws Breath!

Thank you to everyone who came and joined us at this years Fort Collins Autism Resource Fair! We are so honored to have been able to meet such a large representation of the community we serve. At the game table, our therapeutically applied Roleplaying Game Master Caleb was able to bring friends from all backgrounds together to conquer tasks of their choosing. We even got to see kids and parents together fully engaged in a collective fantasy and spark imagination that games like these provide, it was a wonderful feeling! We hope that even if you don’t find a place at one of our groups, we helped make family game night more interesting… and Epic!!

Our STAR certified sensory integration Occupational Therapist Deana showed how a roll of a die can set limits, provide purposeful movements, and engage kids in sensory input without overwhelming their body and brains. Balance activities are a great way to focus and calm, especially for those who seek movement such as swinging, bouncing, or rocking. We hope we displayed how much parents can also benefit from these activities, and we’re wondering how many of you ordered a Bosu!

Eric our co-founder, main counselor, and ADHD and autism specialist was able to answer questions that only experts with more than 20 years of experience in behavioral mental health could answer. He has several groups actively running which you can find more details on our Groups page. Together with your help, the fair was by all accounts an incredible success, and we’re so glad to have been a part of it and meet you! If you signed up with us you may have already received an email, if you have not we ask for your patience, we had an overwhelming positive response!

We have received this question a few times already and are so exciting to announce that yes, we are building groups for the younger ages! We hope to be debuting groups for age ranges of 5-9 and 10-13 by the end of the school year, so keep an eye out for that!

Come play D&D with us!

We’ll be at the Fort Collins Autism Resource Fair on May 3rd from 11am to 4pm, and this year we’re bringing something a little different.

A few of us who run therapeutic Dungeons and Dragons and social flourishing groups through Rocky Mountain Group Therapy Cooperative will be there, running games throughout the day, something people can actually sit down and play.

The fair is a free community event at the Fort Collins Museum of Discovery, focused on connecting neurodiverse individuals and families with local resources and support . It is a welcoming, low pressure space, and we are glad to be part of it.

What it will look like

We will have a couple tables running continuously. You can jump in anytime, stay for a few minutes or longer, or just watch if that feels better. No experience needed, we will guide you.

Why D&D?

We use roleplaying in our groups because it can support connection, shared focus, creativity, and trying things out through a character. It also gives people a way to engage socially without pressure.

No pressure

We will have information about our groups if you are curious, but the focus is simply to create a space where people can play, connect, and feel comfortable.

If you are coming

Stop by, roll some dice, and hang out for a bit. You are welcome whether you have played before or not.
