Meetup Groups
What We're About
Our Be More Social groups take place in central Boulder, Colorado. They are designed for young adults ages 18+ who deal with issues such as shyness or social anxiety. Some identify as neurodivergent. All want the opportunity to develop social connections with likeminded peers. Be More Social groups provide a safe and supportive environment to get together in person for fun, engaging activities facilitated by professional, supportive executive function and therapeutic coaches. Participants not only build connections and friendships, they develop the ability to feel more comfortable interacting with others. Please note, Be More Social groups are not psychotherapy groups.
