PEERS® Social Group
The Program
PEERS is an evidence-based social skills intervention for motivated teens in middle and high school who are interested in making and keeping friends and/or handling conflict and rejection. Lost Coast Family Therapy is the only certified provider of the PEERS program in Humboldt County.
Group for Adolescents
The PEERS program consists of 16 weekly group sessions for 90 minutes per week. Teens are taught social skills through didactic lessons and role-play demonstrations, and practice these skills during group socialization activities. Parents attend separate sessions simultaneously and are taught how to assist their teens in making and keeping friends.
Group for Young Adults
Our certified PEERS instructors are actively working on making the young adults program a reality here in Humboldt County! Coming Soon!
