Ages: 13-17

PEERS® for Adolescents is a 16-week evidence-based social skills intervention for motivated teens in middle and high school who are interested in learning new ways of making and keeping friends.

This internationally acclaimed program, used in over 35 countries, was originally developed at UCLA by Dr. Elizabeth Laugeson. 

During each group session, teens are taught important social skills and are given the opportunity to practice these skills in session during socialization activities. 

Our Parents Training program allows parents to attend separate sessions at the same time and provide education on how to assist their teens in making and keeping friends. Parents are able to help their teen's progress in the program by expanding their teen’s social network and providing feedback through coaching during weekly socialization homework assignments.

PEERS® may be appropriate for teens with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Anxiety, Depression or other social and behavioral disorders. 

Parent participation is required.
