Does your child struggle to make or keep friends?

PEERS is an evidence-based social skills program developed at UCLA that teaches concrete, research-supported strategies for making and keeping friends. Students learn practical social skills through instruction, role-playing, and guided practice, while parents receive coaching and tools to help reinforce these skills at home and support real-world success.

Who's it for?

• Students age 8-13 who want to build stronger friendships and are interested in enrolling in the upcoming PEERS 8 week social skills program

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

Over 8 weeks, students will learn how to:

• Start and maintain conversations

• Join and exit peer groups smoothly

• Plan and join get togethers with their friends

• Demonstrate good sportsmanship

At the same time, parents will learn how to:

• Coach their child 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"

• Family Partnership- kids and parents work in parallel groups for maximum impact
