Teenager Social Skills Mentoring-Teen Social Skills Training

Example

A session where teenagers engage in a discussion about a common interest, like music or games, allowing them to express opinions, listen, and respond to others, thereby practicing active listening and respectful communication.

Scenario

In a group discussion, one teenager might share their favorite band, prompting responses from others, with the therapist guiding the conversation to ensure inclusivity and positive interaction.

Example

Teenagers participate in role-playing scenarios to practice responding to various social situations, such as dealing with peer pressure or initiating a conversation with a peer.

Scenario

In a role-play about peer pressure, teens act out a scene where one is pressured to try smoking. The therapist later discusses strategies to assertively decline such offers, enhancing their decision-making and assertiveness skills.

Example

After each interaction or role-play, the therapist provides feedback and discusses with the teenagers how they can improve or adapt their social strategies in future interactions.

Scenario

Following a role-play, the therapist highlights positive behaviors displayed and offers constructive criticism on areas for improvement, such as body language or tone of voice, helping teens refine their social skills.
