Kids Konnected offers sense of belonging

It is said "necessity is the mother of invention." That is, we create things to fill a void and fulfill a need.
This article talks about a self-help group created by a teenager who wanted to connect with other teens going through the same predicament. The group has survived and grown over several years.

• What is the focus of the group?
• What need does this fulfill for its' participants? Why do you imagine there was a void previously?
• What are the potential benefits of this group beyond what a counselor can provide?
• What 'expertise' have you possibly developed because of something you encountered or endured?
