Social Stencils

This 8-week, neuro-affirming group program (1 hour per week) supports children aged 8–15 who may:

• Find friendships difficult or feel left out

• Struggle with bullying or conflict at school

• Have big emotions (go from 0–100 quickly)

• Learn differently or find concentration challenging

Social Stencil is not a traditional “social skills” program. Instead, it empowers young people to:
✔️ Understand emotions (including The Science of Anger)
✔️ Explore friendship styles and strategies
✔️ Manage conflict safely and constructively
✔️ Build focus, self-awareness and confidence

Created by Dr. Connie Buckingham, PhD, and refined with input from lived-experience voices, Social Stencil is inclusive, trauma-informed, and designed to help every child feel respected and understood.
