Socials Skills: Friendships & Relationships

The program aims to encourage friendship, positive social/emotional behaviours, active listening, effective communication, and understanding of social norms, among many other social skills. This program supports students who would like to improve their ability to build connections with peers, may avoid social contact, behave immaturely, be shy or timid in groups, frequently fight with peers, or display a lack of self-esteem and self-confidence. Once a week, these skills will be taught through group discussion, play-based activities, team-building games, and roleplaying. Participants will benefit from working together with other students who have similarities to them. 

Who is the program designed for?

Students are grouped based on age. We have programs for students in Grades 3-5 and students in Grades 6-8. Students may or may not have a neurodiverse diagnosis.
