Social Strategies for Young People 7/5/2010

I am a teacher and have had occasion to recommend a student to Friendsmarts. In every instance the student has learned strategies that s/he can apply to real life social situations. Consequently, the student seems to be more relaxed and able to more fully engage in the academic school program. If you know of a young person who is having difficulty with social/emotional situations, I think you ought to look into this program. more

A great program teaching much needed skills 7/2/2010

My child felt secure and accepted amongst a group of kids who had their own problems. The therapist was able to not only teach him how to manage his frustration and disappointments but also to let others know how he felt about them without being offensive. He tells his friends what he doesn't like about their behavior and they resolve their problems much better. He now can actually go through weeks at school without any confrontations or incidents. The program covered so many aspects of social skills, I had no idea one could teach all that. I just wish they had a class for adults, I know several who could use it! Pros: highly qualified and experienced, caring therapists Cons: may not have availability more

Beware of an amateurish and sometimes damaging class 1/20/2010

The initiative behind this class sounds promising: Therapy for socially-challenged kids in a group setting. The therapist can observe the kid in a social setting, instead of one-on-one conversations. Pros: somewhat effective for the young age Cons: very amateurish for middle-school age more
