PEERS - Ages 14+ years

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 16 weekly group sessions for 90 minutes per week. Teens are taught social skills through didactic lessons and role-play demonstrations, and 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.
