[quote=VictoriaMGeis][b]PEERS® (Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills)[/b] - featured in major news media - is a 14-week evidence-based social skills intervention for motivated teens 12-17 interested in learning practical ways to make and keep friends.  In each session teens are taught important social abilities and rehearse these skills during tailored socialization activities.  Parents simultaneously attend a parent group class to learn how to assist their teen and serve as social coaches during weekly socialization homework assignments.  Parent participation is key to teen’s success!  Most importantly, teens’ improvements remain years beyond the program.
