I've used Social Effectiveness Therapy (SET) for adults and SET-C for children with some success.

If they're having trouble saying no to people or balancing their relationships with priorities and/or things they want to do, the Interpersonal Effectiveness module of the DBT skills works well.

As someone who recently completed a year-long DBT practicum, I agree with this.

In terms of SST, there are a lot of books/manuals devoted to specific clinical populations (schizophrenia, autism, NVLD etc). If you're currently a graduate student, you could check on what resources are available through your clinic/library system.
