Improve your Social Skills
The Macquarie University Psychology Clinic has been running a social skills group for a number of years. Recently the program has been re-modeled based on the well-researched Australian social skills program 'STOP THINK DO' (Peterson, 2002). The program is offered to children who are in grades 3-6 and includes sessions for both children and parents.
Sessions for children cover topics such as:
- Getting to know people
- Understanding and communicating feelings
- Solving social problems
- Assertive, co-operative and friendly behaviours
- Dealing with teasing and bullying
Sessions for parents cover topics such as:
- Goal setting
- Understanding and accurately observing child behaviour
- Reinforcing the positives
- Active listening
- Helping children with social problem solving
- Behaviour management
- Helping children deal with bullies
Duration
The sessions run after school for 10 weeks. Each session is 1.5 hours. Generally 3 therapists will facilitate the child program, while 1 or 2 therapists administer the parenting program. It should be the same parent attending each week for the parenting sessions.
Cost
The program costs $300 (non-refundable $50 payable at the initial assessment, the remaining $250 payable before the first night of the group).
