How Confidence Works
Why small steps beat big leaps.
Social Confidence Course for Teens: A Six-Week Plan
A six-week course for teens ages 13 to 17 who can manage in a group but hold back more than they would like. Each learner builds a personal confidence plan with small weekly steps. This is a skills class, not therapy.
Class Experience
Each class teaches one idea, such as how avoidance keeps nerves going, and one skill to practise. Learners then set a small challenge for the week, sized to feel slightly uncomfortable but doable, and report back. The teacher keeps challenges private and realistic.
How classes work
The course meets once a week for 6 weeks, 50 minutes a class, with up to 5 learners. Each class builds on the last.
