Social Skills based on values, personal initiative, and purpose.
The teen years can be painfully awkward for many young people. In constant social situations every day, they face their greatest challenges, fears, and struggles, compounded by peer pressure, bullying, raging hormones, awkwardness, new and increasing demands from adults and society, unclear messages in popular culture and media, and so much more. It can be overwhelming, and InnerState1 can help.
Peak Social is great for teaching social skills in small groups, classrooms, one-on-one, and workshop programs for public and private schools, weekend retreats, families, home school, and summer camps.
