Social savvy: Building skills for connection & confidence

Do social interactions feel stressful and intimidating? This five-session skills group is designed to help you build confidence and ease in connecting with others. Across the series, you’ll learn and practice strategies for:

• Having more meaningful conversations,
• Expanding and strengthening your social network,
• Using digital communication effectively,
• Navigating conflict with greater success, and
• Managing social anxiety

Each session combines useful information with hands-on activities, so you can practice new skills right away. Between sessions, you’ll be encouraged to try things out in real life and share what worked (and what didn’t) with the group.

Because sessions build on each other, students are strongly encouraged to attend all four sessions; registration for individual sessions is not available.

Facilitators: Eric Widdicombe & Lisa Tomlinson, counsellors
