PEERS Social Skills training. One-on-one. Online

Welcome to Julie Athanasiou's Social Skills Coaching Hub! 👋 As a dedicated mother of three incredible kids aged 20, 18, and 10, my venture into the world of social skills coaching has been shaped by both professional expertise and personal experience.

🎓 Originally trained as a speech pathologist, my career path evolved into the realm of written communications. However, the unique challenges of the COVID-19 lockdowns reignited my passion for social skills, particularly as I observed my children navigating social complexities.

🌈 With a rich background as a leader for the Monbulk Girl Guides, I recognise the pivotal role social skills play in the holistic development of young people. My coaching philosophy emphasises the value of providing explicit instructions, steering away from a purely trial-and-error approach, and understanding the impact of structured guidance.

💡 Committed to evidence-based practices, I have chosen the PEERS program as my primary method for working with teens and young adults. This research-grounded approach aligns seamlessly with my belief in offering systematic guidance to cultivate social success.

Explore this space where social skills development becomes an empowering journey, and each interaction is an opportunity for growth and meaningful connection. 🚀✨ Join me in navigating the nuances of social skills, fostering a community where everyone thrives! #SocialSkillsCoaching #PEERSProgram #EmpoweringConnectionss
