Social Skills Group for Adolescents
PEERS® for Adolescents is a 10 week evidence-based social skills intervention for motivated adolescents in middle and high school who are interested in learning new ways of making and keeping friends.
This internationally acclaimed program, used in over 35 countries, was originally developed at UCLA by Dr. Elizabeth Laugeson.
During each group session, youth learn important social skills and practice these skills.

Parents attend concurrent sessions which focus on their supportive role. Parents learn how to support their adolescents in making and keeping friends. Parents learn ways to build their teen’s social network and provide effective coaching for weekly socialization homework assignments.
