PEERS for Adolescents is an evidence-based program from UCLA. It teaches concrete, real world social skills while also equipping parents with strategies to support and coach their teen at home.

Who's it for?

• Students age 12- 17 who want to build stronger friendships

• Parents who want practical strategies to help their teen succeed socially

Over 8 weeks, students will learn how to:

• Start and maintain conversations

• Join and exit peer groups smoothly

• Use texting and social media appropriately

• Handle teasing, rejection and conflict

• Plan and join get togethers with their friends

At the same time, parents will learn how to:

• Coach their teen in real life social situations

• Support practice at home and in the community

• Troubleshoot common challenges

Why PEERS?

• Evidence-based- backed by over a decade of research worldwide

• Practical and Realistic- skills taught through role play, group practice, and real world "friendship homework"
