Junior Social Coach Program
If your teen or young adult ages 18-22 would benefit from social mentoring, building confidence, AND job/life coaching together, this is the program! Your teen or young adult will join one of the in-person social groups for younger kids and tweens as a junior coach-in-training.
Not only will your teen or young adult indirectly absorb the social coaching and skills provided to the entire group, but they will also be mentored on job skills by a very understanding boss. Groups take place outside at my farmhouse with a converted well-ventilated clubhouse space that we use for indoor activities and during inclement weather.
This program supports teens and young adults in building social confidence, enhancing communication skills, and improving perspective-taking, conflict resolution, problem-solving, and work-life strategies. Teens and young adults must demonstrate an interest in the program, the ability to take direction, and follow all safety rules.
Social skills that are practiced and addressed through in-the-moment facilitation include independent functioning skills, interaction skills, team skills (active engagement, social reciprocity, following group directions, etc.), social communication skills, socio-emotional skills (e.g. identifying, and expressing feelings, moods, and emotions), promoting self-regulation and developing community social skills. My approach to social learning includes a blend of cognitive-behavioral coaching, positive psychology, and collaborative problem-solving, but more than that, it’s just plain fun.
Choose an afternoon for your teen or young adult to participate that fits their schedule and the age group they would like to work with. All sessions meet from 4:30-5:45 PM.
Tuition: $320.00/month (includes four sessions and a $15 per group stipend for the teen or young adult).
