PEERS® for Preteens/teens

PEERS® for Preteens/Teens is an internationally recognised, evidence-based social skills intervention for motivated teens in secondary school who are interested in learning new ways of making and keeping friends. During each group session, adolescents are taught important social skills and are given the opportunity to practice these skills in session during socialisation activities.

Feedback will be provided weekly to teens during weekly socialisation homework assignments.
