PEERS® for Young Adults is an evidence-based social skills intervention for motivated young adults between 18-38 years of age who are interested in learning skills to make and keep friends and develop romantic relationships. This internationally acclaimed program was originally developed at UCLA by PEERS® Clinic Founding Director, Dr. Elizabeth Laugeson.
During each group session, young adults are taught important social skills and are given the opportunity to practice these skills.
Young adults must be socially motivated and attend each session with a social coach

Social Distancing doesn’t have to mean social disengagment.
During the stay at home advisory, this course will be offered online over a zoom meeting.
This will be free of charge to adults (18+) living within our service region.
All participants will need a social coach to take this course with them.  A social coach can be a parent/guardian, adult sibling, staff, etc.

In order to participate, both the young adult and social coach will need a separate computer, tablet, or smartphone with internet access for our zoom meetings. 
We will run this on Wednesdays from 4:00-6:00pm starting on May 6th and concluding on June 24th.

Young Adults will learn about:
• Conversational skills
• Appropriate use of humor
• Electronic Communication
• Handling Direct and Indirect Bullying
• Handling Arguments and Disagreements
• Organizing Get-Togethers with Friends
• Dating Skills
• Strategies for Handling Dating Pressure
