Monica Fyfe is a Certified Provider for the Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills (PEERS®) program.  This is a 14-week, evidence-based social skills intervention for motivated adolescents in middle school or high school (or Young Adults) who are interested in learning ways to help them make and keep friends. During each group session adolescents are taught important social skills and are given the opportunity to practice these skills in session during socialization activities (e.g. role-plays, playing sports, board games). 

Parents are taught how to assist their teens in making and keeping friends by providing feedback through coaching during weekly socialization homework assignments.
