Description: 

P.E.E.R.S. (520)
(1:3 Ratio - One staff for three participants)

Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills (PEERS®) is an evidence-based social skills program for teens who are interested in learning ways to help them make and keep friends. In this program teens are taught strategies for developing conversational skills, choosing appropriate friends, using humor, planning a get together, using good sportsmanship and handling peer rejection. Delivered in a group format, Teens are given the opportunity to practice these skills in session (e.g. playing sports, board games, etc.) and are assigned home missions in an effort to generalize taught skills.

Notes:
Mandatory Social Coach training:
  • Social coaches attend a separate session during the last hour of session 1 and session 5
  • Social coaches will be supporting to expand their teen's social network and providing feedback through coaching during weekly socialization homework assignments.
Screening Process:

Please note that enrollment into the program does not fully guarantee registration of the program. Upon enrollment, facilitators will be e-mailing a pre-screening form for caregivers/participants to complete. The in-person group intake for the participants will be conducted during the parent orientation. The screening process is to confirm whether the program best fits the client's goals and level of support provided by the facilitators (1 staff: 3 clients).
