SEL2. Social Navigators

Service Description

SEL2. Social Navigators: Friendship Skills, Emotional Regulation and Confidence (Grades 4-6) Overview: Social Navigators is a small, supportive group for children ages 9–12 who struggle with friendships, social confidence, or managing emotions in peer settings. As social expectations increase in upper elementary and early middle school, many children feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or unsure how to connect successfully with others. This group helps children strengthen both social skills and emotional coping strategies, recognizing that anxiety, frustration, and self-doubt often interfere with peer relationships. Through discussion, interactive activities, role-play, and real-time practice, children learn skills they can use immediately in school and social settings. Children will learn how to: Initiate and maintain friendships Read social cues and respond flexibly Manage anxiety, frustration, or shutdown in social situations Communicate assertively and handle conflict Build confidence in group and peer interactions The group provides guided coaching in a safe, nonjudgmental environment where children can practice new skills, reflect on experiences, and feel less alone in their challenges.
