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-centred approach to helping individuals live more connected and fulfilling lives. Our Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) service focuses on understanding each person’s abilities, needs and goals, then creating supportive environments that promote independence, self-regulation and long-term growth. By recognising that all behaviour has purpose, we develop evidence-based strategies that are compassionate, respectful and sustainable.

Through close collaboration with individuals, families and support networks, we design realistic, culturally appropriate plans that build communication skills, increase participation in meaningful activities and strengthen resilience. Guided by ongoing clinical input and lived experience, our PBS approach delivers practical, effective and lasting outcomes—improving quality of life, relationships and community connection.

  Friendship Fundamentals is designed to help boys navigate the everyday challenges of social interaction with confidence and ease. The program provides a supportive, structured environment where participants can build essential friendship skills, develop self-assurance and learn to connect meaningfully with others.

Through engaging activities and practical exercises, boys learn how to initiate conversations, read social cues and resolve conflicts effectively. These experiences not only strengthen their social abilities but also foster resilience and self-worth—foundations for lasting, positive relationships.

Self Esteem 4 Me cultivates a strong sense of belonging and confidence, empowering participants to explore their social potential with assurance.
 

sessions integrate role-playing, group discussions and practical exercises aimed at equipping participants with the tools to effectively apply and refine their newfound skills in real-world situations.

It can feel daunting when you first start dating—especially when navigating the expectations, emotions and uncertainties that come with meeting new people. Our program helps participants build confidence, self-awareness and a clear understanding of what makes healthy, respectful relationships work.

Through guided lessons, discussions and real-life practice, you’ll learn how to navigate the modern dating landscape, communicate effectively and form meaningful romantic connections. We focus on practical skills, emotional readiness and developing the confidence to approach dating with authenticity and respect.
