Our Vibe & Thrive: Social Skills for Success (formerly “Social Skills”) group is designed to help 3rd to 5th-grade girls develop essential social skills through engaging, evidence-based strategies in just five focused sessions. This program empowers participants to build positive friendships, navigate social challenges, and gain confidence in handling tricky interactions.
Throughout the program, participants will explore the foundations of authentic and fulfilling friendships, learn strategies for repairing friendship mishaps, and develop tools to manage overwhelming social situations. Through role-play, interactive games, small group discussions, and individual reflection, they will practice effective communication, reflective listening, and empathetic strategies for mending conflicts.
By understanding the science behind our desire to belong and mastering skills like setting healthy boundaries and resolving conflicts, participants will leave the program feeling empowered, confident, and equipped to navigate social dynamics successfully.
This fun and supportive 5-day experience fosters social growth and provides participants with essential tools for building healthy friendships and thriving socially!
