Social skills groups??

I know now is not exactly the best time to be looking for social skills groups but I figured some other members may be able to help with information.

My 7 year old daughter was diagnosed about 2 years ago with ADHD, depression, and low self esteem. She has since been also diagnosed with ODD and anxiety. I have learned as much as I could since before she was evaluated.

She has been through a few counseling agencies where there were not any social skills groups. After a year long wait we saw a pediatric specialist and she did give me some information on social skills groups, although it was from a few years ago.

Does anyone know of any groups that may be going on virtually or how I could go about finding some in my area. We are in Massachusetts, near the Rhode Island line.

She also has an iep that does mention social skills groups, but she has not been in any besides a lunch bunch that had just started before schools closed.

Thank you
