Social Skills Group for Boys and Girls

The Social Skills Group for Boys and Girls is a supportive group for kids ages 5-8, 9-10, and 11-13. The structure encompasses a didactic approach to teaching socialization strategies, as well as role-playing scenarios which are typically occurring in most social settings, and a home practice portion. The children not only learn pro-social strategies in the group but are encouraged to practice their newly learned skills in different settings to promote success. As children use these tools with peers, they strengthen relationships thus improving overall self-esteem.
