All kids encounter friendship challenges from time to time. Some may need guidance on dealing with day-to-day conflict or responding to bullying. Others may have underlying issues that affect their ability to make and keep friends — like anxiety, ADHD, autism, social communication disorder, or depression. These kids may benefit from some extra help learning social skills.
The Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills (PEERS®) for Teens is a 14-week evidence-based social skills intervention to help motivated teens in middle and high school learn to make and keep friends. During each group session, teens are taught essential communication skills and given the opportunity to practice with peers.
If you find that your child needs additional help or support, our doors at the Child Mind Institute are always open. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us today.
