Space Cadets (Constellation)

 What are Constellations?

Constellations are non-judgemental Peer Solidarity groups facilitated by the NEUROMANCERS team. They might be support-based drop in groups, educational cohorts, or workshops and some facilitators also offer additional 121 support on a discretionary basis. Like the stars in constellations, we aim to connect neurodivergents across space and time. Learn more here.

About Space Cadets

Space Cadets is a trauma-informed peer support group for people who experience dissociation and/or who identify as trauma survivors (we want this to be a support space more than an education space, so only those with lived experience, unless a support person/caregiver is present). A Space Cadet is someone who may seem to have our minds in outer space while our bodies remain earthbound. The group is experimental with an open format to mutually support each other in peer solidarity, discuss strategies and shared experiences. For people 16+.
