Developing Confidence, Self-Esteem and Sustaining Friendships: Social Skills Workshop for High School Teens

When: Thursday 01/24/19

When: 5:30 - 7:00 PM

Where: The Chesapeake Center

The Chesapeake PEERS-based program is a 16-week program that teaches high schoolers interpersonal skills, such as: how to initiate/end conversations, learn when and how to trade and share information, identify social cues, handle peer pressure/bullying (physical and cyber)/rejection, be a good host, navigate disagreements, choose appropriate friends, stand up for themselves, etc. It has been adapted to include experiences that many children with social anxiety and ADHD face (e.g. anxiety in social situations, impulsivity, poor boundaries of personal space, distractedness and not listening, disorganization, sitting quietly, and confidence to speak up). This workshop will increase participants' immediate social awareness and help them practice new skills in a comfortable setting with role-play exercises.
