PEERS® Teen Telehealth Conversation Skills

This 5-session telehealth therapy group teaches social and conversational skills using the PEERS® curriculum. Teens participate in didactic sessions to learn concrete strategies and explicit rules for successful conversations. Video modeling or social role plays are used to highlight successful and unsuccessful social interactions. Teens practice skills in breakout rooms with a facilitator who provides feedback, and through homework activities (e.g., phone/video calls with group members and real-world social practice). Parents participate for the first and last 15 minutes of these 75-minute sessions.
