PEERS for teens @ Kinark Autism Services

The Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills (PEERS) is a 14-week evidenced-based social skills group for motivated teens aged 13 – 18 who are interested in learning new ways of making and keeping friends. During each virtual group session, teens are taught important social skills and are given the opportunity to practice these skills in session during socialization activities. At the same time, parents attend sessions and are taught how to assist their teens in making and keeping friends by helping to expand their teen’s social network and providing feedback through coaching during weekly socialization homework assignments.
