Join us in person, for a friendship-themed cooking program. Participants learn to cook and prepare food items to increase their independence and comfort in the kitchen. We will learn kitchen safety & hygiene, basic cooking skills, along with social activities each evening.  

Participants will leave each session with new recipes to add to their collection, as well as items they have made to share with family & friends. Through exploring the social side of cooking, participants could use the recipes and skills learned to share with family and friends during a gathering.

Practice and boost social skills weekly through games & activities. Each session, relevant social skills will be covered to enhance the social skill toolbox involving playing games with others. We will also focus on learning to play (the game, if required), following the game rules and appropriately handling situations that occur while playing games.

• Gender identity & expression

• Different types of relationships

• Public & private
