What are PEERS® Boot Camps?
The PEERS® Program Boot Camps are short, focused workshops for teens aged 12-16. They’re designed to help your child rapidly develop and practice their social skills in a focused and supportive setting. These boot camps usually last for three half days and cover the key topics of the PEERS (Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills) curriculum.
The workshops aim to boost your teen’s confidence and social skills by participating in different activities and exercises that simulate typical everyday social situations. This includes practising through role-playing, group chats, and structured social exercises.
We’ll provide parents with all the support and education they need in two online webinars where they will be taught to coach their teens through practice and constructive feedback.
Experienced facilitators lead our boot camps. These facilitators offer guidance, feedback, and encouragement every step of the way. The PEERS® Boot Camps have demonstrated promising outcomes with improvements in social skills and overall quality of life for participants facing challenges like autism, ADHD, and other social difficulties.
