Important Note: Parent Participation
Parents / Caregivers are an integral part of the programme, becoming the social coach of their teen.
The last 15 minutes of each session will be the parent de-brief of our current lesson, where each parent will receive a handout, which will be the “homework” for that week to practice with your teen.
Attendance
It is important to attend each group, as the lessons build on one another
