Superheroes Social Skills

Superheroes Social Skills is a 12-week evidence-based curriculum for elementary aged children designed to improve their social skills. This program is open to children ages 6-9 years old. This curriculum uses a multi-media approach including the use of video instruction, short, animated clips and comic books to teach specific skills. Children also practice new skills by engaging in role-plays, in-group practice, and games that are moderated by the group facilitators. Each week participants will be given practice assignments so they can use their skills at home or in community settings.  

Superheroes includes a weekly parent group where parents learn how to assist their child by providing feedback/coaching for weekly practice assignments. Weekly attendance for parents/caregivers is a program requirement.
