Huddles Season 2.5: Sign Up to Make More Connections!

Hi everyone,

After 2 successful Huddle seasons, we have upgraded our Huddles structures and protocols and are excited to announce 2 shorter Huddles for the upcoming holiday season!.

What are Huddles?

A Huddle is a closed group chat where 10-20 participants regularly chat to provide continuous support and social connection to each other over 6 weeks.

Some of the new changes for this season include the private group chats being open 24/7, upgraded therapeutic protocols, and adding in listeners!

Goals and Benefits

• Explore issues in more depth

• Feel less alone and more supported

• Learn from other participants

• Receive consistently high-quality listening support

Structure of a Huddle

Each huddle group will share access to a private group chat and forum community with weekly discussions, topics to explore and activities to try. Huddlers will also get access to the Common Room (a group chat) to connect with Huddlers from other groups. Each huddle will also have 5+ listeners who will be there to support the deeper exploration of the topics discussed while gaining connections in the process as well.

Huddle topics

• Wellness Huddle

• Self-Care Huddle

Who Can Sign-Up?

Are you interested in being a Huddler and want to experience powerful discussions and closer interactions with users? This opportunity might interest you if you:

• Are a member who is ready to commit to 6 weeks of exploring the huddle topic that you choose - both new and older members can sign up! Your huddle connections will hopefully last for a long time even after the official agenda items have been explored.

• Are impacted by the available huddle topics and feel like the huddle experience can benefit you.

• Are interested in sharing your own story while participating in a group where other users are also exploring a similar topic. As a Huddler you are encouraged to support others, ask supportive questions, or share reflections regarding your personal experiences as well as reflections that may benefit the group. Our huddles focus on deeper exploration to promote reflection and exchange of ideas. As a Huddler, you are not obliged to answer questions that make you uncomfortable.

Note that because we continue to explore the potential of such private groups, we will ask for feedback at different stages. Your feedback will be used by admins to improve this feature and will always be valued.

We hope to launch this next season of Huddles during the coming week of December 12th.
