PEERS® for Adolescents is an evidence-based social skills intervention for motivated teens in middle and high school who are interested in making and keeping friends and/or handling conflict and rejection.
Teens and parents attend this program for 90 minutes per week over the course of 16 weeks. Teens are taught through didactic lessons and role-play demonstrations, and practice these skills during the group.
Parents attend separate sessions simultaneously and are taught how to assist their teens in making and keeping friends. Parent participation is required.
This group is led by a Certified PEERS provider and also supported by BCBAs and RBTs.
