Discussion Group
Dr. Enyi Jen is involved in SENG Community Groups because she believes deeply in the power of connection, shared understanding, and emotional support for families and individuals navigating the complexities of giftedness. With a strong focus on social and emotional development, Dr. Jen sees the group as a space where participants can reflect, learn, and grow together. Her work emphasizes a strengths-based approach and the importance of creating supportive environments for both children and the adults who guide them. By facilitating these groups, Dr. Jen helps build communities that empower parents to better understand and support their bright children. Please contact us if you are interested in joining or organizing one.
