WELCOME
Our Village, is a 501 (c)(3), non-profit, federally registered charity based in Redondo Beach, CA.
Our mission is to help children, teenagers, and young adults with autism, adhd, social anxiety and other social skills needs, by providing access to social skills groups that are research-based & offer exceptional quality for families.
|
OUR VILLAGE was founded in 2015 and its goals are to provide specialized social, emotional and play support to families, and programming and trainings to schools and the community.
We strive to build bridges to connection, empathy, understanding and inclusion for all. And we do so with big fun and a lot of heart! |
To meet our mission mandate, we provide programs that follow research-based behavioral and play methodologies. Our models currently utilized include: The Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills (PEERS®) for Teenagers and Young Adults, Sibshops, components of Integrated Play Groups (IPG)© and Peer Mediated Social Skills Group for Children. Our settings range from schools, parks, and clinical settings in the South Bay and Long Beach.
We are proud to share that Our Village is a vendor of Harbor Regional Center and Westside Regional Center for our teen and young adult programs!
Please talk to your Regional Center Service Coordinator for more information and for a referral for our PEERS® groups!
