The PEERS® Social Confidence & Leadership Program is a 16-week evidence-based training designed for motivated youth who want to build meaningful friendships, navigate social situations with confidence, and develop leadership skills that will benefit them throughout their lives. Based on the world-renowned PEERS® program developed at UCLA, our group is led by a Certified PEERS® Trainer to
 deliver this proven approach.

Social Skills for Youth and Teens

Whether you're navigating the social world for the first time or looking to strengthen existing connections, the PEERS® Social Confidence & Leadership Program provides practical tools and real-world strategies in a supportive group setting. Each session is interactive, structured, and designed to help participants learn coping skills to manage life's stressors.

PEERS® Group Richmond will be run by three BIPOC-identified therapists/behavioural consultants experienced in serving youth with autism with mental health symptoms.
