OUR SOCIAL SKILLS PROGRAMS

Peers® is a welcoming, evidence-based learning experience designed specifically for teens and young people. 

 Your young person will acquire essential skills and build the confidence needed for successful social interactions, learning how to make and keep friends, and ultimately thrive in various aspects of life.

Peers® stands out for its structured approach, recommended by Psychologists, Occupational Therapists, and Speech Therapists, ensuring that it is grounded in professional expertise. 

Each session involves interactive activities, discussions and practical exercises that teach valuable social skills such as initiating and maintaining conversations, understanding social cues, and managing conflicts. 

The participant will develop the tools needed to navigate social landscapes confidently and build lasting, meaningful relationships. 

 At Pathway Partnerships, we take a proactive, person-focused approach to helping individuals live more connected and fulfilling lives. Our Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) service is about understanding each person’s abilities, needs, values and goals, then creating environments that enable success. Rather than simply reacting to challenges, we focus on building practical skills, promoting independence and removing barriers so people can thrive.

PBS recognises that all behaviour has a purpose. By understanding the reasons behind certain actions, we create tailored, evidence-based strategies that are compassionate, respectful and sustainable. 

This may involve developing communication and self-regulation skills, identifying triggers, increasing participation in meaningful activities and strengthening resilience to navigate change and challenges. Our PBS approach is strengthened by continuous clinical input, ensuring high-quality behavioural strategies and support plans that remain effective and aligned with best practice.

Our approach is highly collaborative, working closely with individuals, families and support networks to co-design realistic, culturally appropriate plans. 

By combining professional expertise and with lived experience, we ensure strategies are actively applied, reviewed and refined—leading to improved quality of life, stronger relationships and long-term positive change for individuals and their communities

Friendship Fundamentals aims to help your young person develop confidence and enhance their interaction skills, making it easier for them to form and maintain friendships. 

The structured curriculum provides a supportive environment where boys can learn and grow together.

Through a series of engaging activities and practical exercises, your young person will master the nuances of playground-style social skills, such as initiating conversations, reading social cues and resolving conflicts. 

As a result, your young person will not only improve their social capabilities but also develop a stronger sense of self-worth and resilience, essential for lifelong success in social relationships.
