This new initiative located in South Vancouver for a PEERS® social skills group for youth ages 9-13 is running in Feb 1 – May 31, 2025.
This is an evidence-based skills group that helps youth learn social skills needed to make and keep friendships!

We are three BIPOC-identified therapists/behavioural consultants experienced in serving youth with autism with mental health symptoms, we saw a service gap and we wanted to address it!
This program is a fee-for-service (private pay) program so we’re looking to help families utilize their autism funding towards evidence-based treatment.
The youth are hand-selected and screened for social readiness and likelihood that they will benefit from the group program before they are enrolled. We want to make sure they’re a good fit for the group so that they will have the greatest benefit.
We are booking for 1:1 screening interviews as of November 1, 2024.
Please email us at [email protected] asap to book an Intake screening for your child.
As a part of the program, the youth WILL be required to have a 1:1 behavioural interventionist or supportive adult to act as a social coach to complete practical PEERS homework each week!
We’ve seen this program do wonders and we are so excited to partner up with local community service providers who support children in life skills training fostering socio-emotional well-being during their developmental years.
