If you have a particular situation that you would like to work on, we can tailor the program to your needs.

Online 16-Week Group Workshops

Participants in the program will receive targeted skills training through step-by-step instruction and role-play demonstrations, followed by the opportunity to practice the newly learned skills through behavioural rehearsal exercises. These exercises will take place in small breakout groups, with direct coaching from the program team.
Simultaneously, parents/social coaches will attend a separate group to learn how to coach participants and provide constructive feedback.
To attend the program, adolescents and young adults must be socially motivated and bring a social coach to each session. Social coaches, such as parents, family members, adult siblings or support workers will attend separate sessions where they will be taught how to provide feedback and practical support during weekly socialisation homework.
