Social Skills

Social skills are the skills needed to effectively communicate with one another. Social skills include communication skills such as listening and talking. They also include empathy, developing rapport, interpersonal skills, problem solving, understanding social cues, eye contact, making and keeping friends, and other social norms. Many individuals with mental illness, autism spectrum disorder, or other related conditions need help developing appropriate ways to interact and socialize with others, both verbally and non-verbally.
