Program or Intervention Summary

Wyman’s Teen Connection Project (TCP) is an innovative, evidence-based program that builds social connections among high school age youth.

TCP is based on several key, research-based factors: 1) teens are very socially-focused; they are wired to seek and manage peer experiences; 2) social and emotional skills develop in the context of supportive relationships; and 3) supportive peer relationships and social and emotional skills lead to enhanced life outcomes.
