"Cheerful Helpers showed me what I did not know was possible"
The Socialization Group
Connecting with peers is not easy for everyone. Through our social skills programs, for children ages 3 -10, students learn to share ideas and listen to others. They gain basic skills to feel successful on the playground, in the classroom, and at home with family. Our small playgroups are composed according to age and developmental ability. Cheerful Helpers provides three unique opportunities for children to participate in our social skills groups.
- School-Based Social Skills: Students meet twice a week. This group supports children enrolled at Cheerful Helpers.
- Friday Social Skills: Students aged 5-7 meet once a week on Friday afternoons. This group supports children attending other schools.
- Saturday Social Skills: Students aged 8-10 meet once a week on Saturday afternoons. This group supports families who are unable to access our services during the week.
All groups are facilitated by child and family therapists and are designed to enhance peer relationships and teach children about their feelings and how to appropriately express them. To learn more about our socialization groups, email Sam Zarate at sam.zarate@cheerfulhelpers.org.
