Social Groups

Social skills groups are small groups of similar-aged clients who learn social-based skills (such as active listening, perspective taking, and conflict resolution) from trained group facilitators. One of the benefits of social skills groups, compared to individual psychotherapy, is that groups provide clients the unique opportunity to acquire new social skills and practice them in a setting where different social experiences will be simulated with their peers. Through these simulations, clients will receive immediate feedback on the implementation of these skills and guidance on how to apply them in real-life contexts. Another benefit of social skills groups is that it provides people the opportunity to form connections with same-aged peers who have similar difficulties with social skills, which can help reduce feelings of loneliness and improve self-esteem.
