Young Adult
Social Skills Group for Young Adults
PEERS® for Young Adults is a 10-week evidence-based social skills intervention for motivated young adults who are interested in learning skills to make friends and develop relationships.
​
This internationally acclaimed program was originally developed at UCLA by PEERS® Clinic Founding Director, Dr. Elizabeth Laugeson. During each group session, young adults are taught important social skills and are given the opportunity to practice. ​​
Young adults must be socially motivated and attend each session with a social coach. The social coach will assist the young adult in completing weekly activities, increasing their social network, and practicing social skills.
