Question 1

Do I have to sign up every month in order to attend?

Accepted Answer

Nope! You absolutely can if you'd like it in your calendar, however you do not need to sign up for each individual session in order to be welcome.

Once you sign up, we'll add you to our email list and invite you to the Discord server. We'll send reminders on both for upcoming groups.

Question 2

Is this actually free?

Accepted Answer

Yep! At no point will you be asked to pay to attend this group. Our primary goal is creating low-barrier access to community connection.

Question 3

What is JaneApp?

Accepted Answer

JaneApp is the platform Blue Sky utilizes for their services. To ensure group safety, all group members will complete an intake form on the JaneApp site so that only real humans sign up to join. We won't share your personal info and will use your preferred name/pronouns.

Question 4

When will I receive reminders of upcoming groups?

Accepted Answer

We're planning to send out email & Discord reminders one week, one day and one hour before the group. We'll also send a Discord message at the time the group is starting.  We are also neurodivergent and want to make this is accessible as possible.

Question 5

Can I join the Discord and not attend the group?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately no. Though the Discord is optional, to ensure the group's safety, we want to keep the Discord members consistent with group attendees. You don't have to regularly attend, but we want to support ongoing connection for group members.

Question 6

How often will Kim & Darren be in the Discord?

Accepted Answer

Darren and Kim/Em will aim for one or both of us to pop in at least every other day. The space is 18+ and will not be closely monitored. In the event that a safety concern comes up, please DM or tag one of us.

Question 7

What if I'm running late to the group?

Accepted Answer

We will keep the meeting room open for the first 10 minutes of every session (to 8:10pm est). After that time, we'll close it for the day to ensure no one is interrupted while they're speaking. If you miss it, don't sweat it! You'll always be welcome next time. You can still pop in the Discord too.

Question 8

Do I have to have my camera on?

Accepted Answer

We won't force you to turn on your camera. We do strongly encourage it as the intent of the group is community connection, it will help everyone to be able to read facial expressions in real time. If you need to turn it off or prefer not to speak, you can let us know and use the chat feature as well

Question 9

Can I suggest a discussion topic for a future session?

Accepted Answer

Totally! On the Discord, we have a suggestion box channel where you can let us know of topics you might like to see discussed as well as any other ideas or feedback you may have. We can't guarantee when your topic may come up, but we'll do our best!
