SoCom
Social and Communication Support Group
- Do social norms confuse you?
- Do you sometimes speak bluntly, or act without thinking, then spend forever trying to resolve the consequences?
- Do you struggle to understand small-talk or jokes?
- Do crowded places fill you with dread?
- Do you feel lonely, isolated or unsupported?
- Are you chaotic and disorganised and feeling stressed?
SoCom offers ideas and activities which are aimed at encouraging a greater self-esteem, and the ability to understand and cope with issues related to social and communication difficulties, with potential for a new friend group and support network to develop. Participation in any activity is optional.

Testimonial
I really enjoyed the PAL sessions. My mentor was so nice and friendly and made the sessions welcoming and informative. They informed me of helpful referencing guides, they helped me navigate the library website, and they provided advice about what modules I can do next year.
