Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relationship Skills (PEERS) is a manualized, social skills training intervention for adolescents and young adults, developed at The Semel Institute at UCLA. It has a strong evidence-base for use with teens and young adults with autism spectrum disorders, but is also appropriate for teens and young adults with ADHD, anxiety, depression, and other socio-emotional problems.

PEERS is a 14-week, evidence-based social skills intervention for motivated teens ages 13-19 who are currently enrolled in school and interested in learning ways to help them make and keep friends. During each group session teens are taught crucial social skills and are given the opportunity to practice these skills in session during role-play and play activities (e.g. sports, board games, etc.).
