Social Skills Groups

According to CASEL (Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning), social skills are crucial because they enable individuals to build healthy relationships, effectively communicate with others, navigate social situations, resolve conflicts peacefully, and contribute positively to their communities, ultimately leading to improved academic performance, mental well-being, and overall life success; essentially, strong social skills are essential for thriving in personal, professional, and social settings.

Social skills include communication, sharing, empathy, cooperation, following directions, respecting personal space, taking turns, conflict resolution, manners, patience, etc. These groups may focus on just a few or all of these skills, determined by the needs of the group.
