Why Consider a Social Skills Group for Your Teenager?

01

Self Confidence

Teens will have the opportunity to learn about themselves.

This group will be flexible to meet the needs of the participants while developing and practicing life skills each week.  Community outings will typically be part of this group.

02

Unlock Their Potential

Empower your teen's confidence and social growth

In a supportive real-world setting, your teen will explore their true selves while practicing essential life skills. From building relationships to overcoming social anxieties, we're here to guide them every step of the way.

03

Stay Connected, Stay Informed

Be an active part of the journey

Our program provides informative sessions for parents.  Get a glimpse of the skills practiced, allowing you to actively support your teen's growth and progress. 

This course does not 'train' social skills or masking behaviors. Instead, we focus on supporting teens to engage in self-advocacy and perspective-taking, which are essential for forming healthy relationships with others. The course was designed with input from neurodivergent teens.
