Boston PEERS partners with Cardinal Stuttering Supporting Social Communication for All
EXCITING NEWS!!
At Boston PEERS, we are committed to fostering meaningful social connections for teens and young adults. As part of this mission, we are proud to partner with Cardinal Stuttering, an organization dedicated to providing resources, support, and advocacy for individuals who stutter.
Through this collaboration, we aim to raise awareness about stuttering, promote evidence-based communication strategies, and ensure that individuals who stutter have access to the social skills support they deserve. Whether through shared resources, community outreach, or educational initiatives, we are working together to create a more inclusive and understanding environment for all individuals.

Boston PEERS® supports teens and young adults:
Who want to make friends, but have trouble connecting with others
Who are struggling with social interactions and feel awkward or anxious
Who are motivated to improve their social skills to make friends and maintain friendships
Research indicates that participation in Teen and Young Adult PEERS® programs results in:
Improved knowledge of social skills
Increase in frequency of get-togethers
Significantly better quality of friendships
Reduced anxiety and depressive symptoms
Increased empathy
Have you tried other social skills groups and found that they…
Were too unstructured and lacked any evidence of efficacy?
Didn’t incorporate family participation and therefore, there was no carryover of skills?
Were not teaching ecologically valid skills that socially successful teens and young adults actually use in the real world?
Relied too heavily on an applied behavioral analysis (ABA) approach?
Operated via Telehealth and lacked the important dynamics of in-person interactions?

“Dr. Chu and her team have put together an amazing program. Our son is finishing up a program with them and it has been a hugely positive experience for him and our family. I think the success is due to the high-quality research behind the program and the time, effort, and dedication that Dr. Chu and her team put into it…Would highly recommend this program for any children and adolescents who need social skills training.”
— Boston PEERS® Parent
“This program is structured, intentional, well-designed, informative, and incredibly supportive, encouraging learning, coaching, and support for both me and my kiddo. These resources are rare for the neurodiverse community of kids and their families.”
— Boston PEERS® Parent
“Dr. Chu's outstanding communication, not just with the participants but with us parents AND with our children's therapists/life coaches etc., was key to our son's ability to practice the skills, do the homework between sessions, and have everyone involved in supporting him on the same page.”
