Social Skills Groups and Resources for Kids and Teens

Social Skills Groups & Summer Day Camps for Children in Cary & Raleigh NC

Competent social skills (cooperation, sharing, listening, being respectful, etc) are critical to successfully interacting with others. Children who lack these skills can experience behavioral & emotional difficulties, trouble making friends, peer rejection, bullying, poor self-esteem, depression, concentration difficulties, academic failures, aggressiveness, and delinquency. Kids with learning disabilities, sensory integration difficulties with learning disabilities, sensory integration difficulties, Asperger's Syndrome, Autism Spectrum Disorder, neurological disorders, and emotional disabilities often need extra help. Luckily, social skills can be taught by trained professionals. And in a safe environment, these newly learned skills can be practiced and mastered.

Trust. Communication. Intimacy. Connection. These are goals that we all strive for in our marriages.

We believe it is that and so much more. It is an art form. Our workshop, consisting of brief lectures, coaching, and interactive exercises, will provide you with an intentional and strong strong foundation upon which to build your marriage. Couples will be enncouraged to participate, but there will be no pressure to share private information with the group. Through skill-based practice, a thorough inventory of your relationship’s strengths, and engaging discussions on effective strategies, you and your partner will cultivate a vision for your relationship that will define your marriage for years to come. Join us for our Workshop for Engaged & Early Marriage Couples.
