The Psychological Services and Counselling Training Centre at UBC will be conducting the PEERS® for Adolescents group September 3-December 17, 2025.
PEERS® for Adolescents is a 16-week program that teaches important social skills to youth ages 12-18 who want tot learn new ways to make and keep friends. During the weekly group sessions, teens practice these social skills through fun activities and discussions. At the same time, parents attend their own sessions to learn how they can support their teen. Parents will get tips on expanding their teen’s social network and providing feedback to help them complete weekly homework assignments focused on socializing.
Parent participation is required for this program which is designed specifically for teenagers diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Cost is $2100 for the 16-week program, and is eligible for funding through the Autism Funding Unit in the province.
A screening intake is required, as this program may not be appropriate for all teens. To begin the screening process, contact us at 604-822-1364.
All families must be screened and enrolled by August 15, 2025.
