Friendzonekids has now graduated to creating social skill groups for young adults between the ages of 18-30 years old. We continue to set up social groups where important social skills are modeled, practiced, and then implemented in real life scenarios. 

For some young adults, the social skills needed to interact successfully in school, the workplace, or community are not innate. They need to learn how to proceed in certain situations before they explore them on their own. 

It can be very overwhelming to approach someone new in person and initiate a conversation while also trying to interpret nonverbal communication. We have found that practicing reciprocal conversation, reading nonverbal cues, advocating for oneself, dealing with frustration, and or dealing with transition can be invaluable.
