Helping Them Learn Skills They’re Missing
Giving your child time with other kids through activities or school gives kids a place to connect but NOT to learn the friendship skills they are missing.
1-1 counseling or therapy is great to learn skills or scripts for making friends, but it’s missing real practice with other kids.
 Friendship Skills Group is the answer to give you child BOTH: skills + real-life practice in a supportive environment
Is it the right fit?
