Chill Plus

Chill Plus has been designed for participants are looking to consolidate, extend and generalize their emerging social skills.

The foundations are laid in the 10-week Chill Foundation program and now it’s time to practise and apply the basics in a million and one social scenarios! Chill Plus is the natural follow on from the foundation program where particpants take their newly acquired skills to a real-world level.

Chill Plus uses more advanced modes of sociodrama and social skill scripting to focus on storytelling and the use of anecdotes in conversations.
