InsideOUT Social Skills 4 YOUth (IOSS4Y) was created to help counter problematic social issues by providing programs to the youth in Collier County. 

The idea to develop a social skills program for children came initially from an interaction between our founder and a mom who was concerned that sitting down to dinner as a family, and learning important social skills, doesn’t happen as much as it had in the past. The program guides kids through the principles of social skills:

• Making others feel comfortable and putting them at ease.

• Showing respect for self and others.

• Showing Value.

• Demonstrating Integrity

As a society, social skills are slipping and a trend towards impoliteness, disrespect, sloppiness, and inappropriate aggression are on a short list of behaviors.  Some of the issues our youth face today are bullying, a lack of confidence, increased anxiety, and stress.  In addition, there is an inability to handle conflict, use discretion and be tactful.  InsideOUT Social Skills 4 YOUth is dedicated to help today’s youth tackle these issues at an early age.
