Connecting alike minds with
Group Connections
Bridge is happy to bring people together, one of the ways we do this is through our Group Mentoring sessions.
What is Group Mentoring?
Our Group Mentoring sessions provide a collaborative and inclusive space designed with neurodivergent individuals in mind. These sessions offer a unique blend of structure and freedom, encouraging open participation, shared learning, and meaningful connection.
Participants are invited to contribute in ways that suit their individual strengths and interests. Whether working on personal projects or participating in a group, everyone plays an integral role in building a supportive and creative community.
Together, we grow through collaboration, peer support, and the freedom to explore.
A safe, supportive space to play, build, and connect. One block at a time.
Our Minecraft sessions are designed specifically for young autistic people, offering a calm, structured, and friendly environment to play together online.
We believe that games can be powerful tools for connection, confidence-building, and creative expression - especially when the environment is right! That's why we keep things small, managable and designed around the needs of neurodivergent players.
Social spaces (even virtual ones) can be overwhelming or unpredictable. That’s why we’ve created a server where players are supported, the rules are clear, and everyone is encouraged to be themselves.
How It Works
-
Dedicated sessions are held on a set day and time (e.g. every Tuesday 2pm to 4pm).
-
A Minecraft Realm ('Server') is always open to all members of the group for the 10 week duration.
-
Players join a group call on Teams via a secure invitation link to catch up, chat, play and make friends.
-
Voice chat & Webcam Encouraged (text chat is always an option for selective mutism etc.)
-
In-game activities & Events form session structure along with the option to always play freely if desired.
-
Every session is built around respect, routine, and fun.
Note: Parents/carers can speak with us in advance to discuss individual needs. Sessions are held on the PC platform with the Java edition of Minecraft that must be already owned or bought seperately.
