Children and Youth Services
PEERS: In-person group
PEERS is an evidence based social skills intervention for motivated teens who are interested in making and keeping friends and/or handling conflict. Teens and parents attend 14 weekly group sessions for 90 minutes per week. Teens are taught social skills through didactic lessons and role-play demonstrations, and will practice these skills during group socialization activities. Parents attend separate sessions simultaneously and are taught how to assist their teens in making and keeping friends.
Parent participation required.
Families will be contacted upon registration to complete a parent/youth screener to ensure your family is a good fit for the program.
