Social Skills

Social skills training provides guidance and tools to improve all types of interpersonal relationships — for children, adolescents and adults.

Who will benefit from social skills training?

  • Those who never learned basic interpersonal skills, such as eye contact or reading other people’s “signals” (feelings, needs and subtle behaviors)
  • People who are shy or introverted
  • Individuals with social anxiety or social phobia
  • People recovering from addictions or mood disorders, such as depression
  • Others who may have interpersonal challenges as a result of disorders such as ADD, ADHD, autism and Asperger’s Syndrome

What are the methods and goals of social skills training?

  • Teaching basic “rules” of social behavior in different settings (work, school, parties, etc.)
  • Communication skills and methods
  • Role playing to practice social skills
  • Assertiveness training
  • Specific social skills for dating, interviewing for jobs, and public speaking
