The power of peer groups, backed by proven research
The PEERS® curriculum is the world’s most researched social-skills framework, and at its core is the power of learning with peers. Research shows that people learn social skills best when they can practice, role-play, and receive feedback in real time with others who share the same goals.
Across 50+ peer-reviewed studies, the PEERS® model has demonstrated measurable improvements in friendship quality, social confidence, and communication skills.
PEERS®Certified Provider
Every S Groups group is led by a certified PEERS® provider, trained through the UCLA PEERS® Clinic. S Groups is an independent organization and is not affiliated with, sponsored or endorsed by PEERS® or its creators.

Real stories. Real progress.
Real outcomes from real clients in PEERS®-based groups led by S Groups coaches.
After participating in S Groups’ peer group sessions with Katie, I noticed significant improvements in my social skills within 2–3 months. I gained more self-confidence, improved my self-esteem, and became more independent. I also enhanced my ability to enter and exit conversations, find sources of friends, and use humor appropriately. The structured curriculum, homework, and personal connection with the coach were especially beneficial.

Charles T., father of a teen
Social Solutions group
Since joining S Groups, I have noticed significant improvements in my social skills within the first month. I’ve gained more self-confidence, improved my self-esteem, and become more independent. The peer group curriculum was very effective, with discussions about past social situations, role-playing, and topics like meeting new people and making friends being particularly helpful.

I would recommend S Groups because you learn a lot of knowledge and skills. You get to interact with peers around your age group. The videos, interactive peer chats, homework check-ins, and fun games made it engaging.

After my loved one began participating in S Groups’ peer groups with Heather and Katie, I noticed improvements within the first month — including increased self-confidence, better skills in entering and exiting conversations, and using humor more appropriately. Any opportunity to learn new skills is important.
