PEERS is a 16-week program, focused on the development of specific social skills related to making and keeping friends. The program includes both a teen class as well as a weekly class for social coaches. Social coaches are taught weekly what skills the teens are working on and how they can best support the teen practice and implement the specific social skills outside of the weekly classes. Teens participate in the lesson related to specific social skills, followed by opportunities to practice the skills being addressed, and are assigned homework to complete between sessions to practice the new skills. Lessons cover topics such as starting and ending conversations, finding common interests with others, using electronic communication, and having get-togethers. If interested, please complete the PEERS referral to start the process.
