I am so excited to share this information with you. Here’s a little background into the FRIENDS program.
The world’s leading school-based
anxiety prevention programFRIENDS for Life helps children and teenagers cope with feelings of fear, worry, and depression by building resilience and self-esteem and teaching cognitive and emotional skills in a simple, well-structured format.
Used in schools and clinics throughout the world, FRIENDS is the only childhood anxiety prevention program acknowledged by the World Health Organization for its 10 years of comprehensive evaluation and practice. It has proved effective for up to 6 years after initial exposure.
A wealth of research and practical experience in thousands of classrooms has shown that exposing anxious children to a complete 10-session FRIENDS program can reduce their risk of developing a disorder for up to 6 years. Children with normal levels of worry benefit by acquiring resilience to emotional stress.
FRIENDS promotes important self-development concepts such as self-esteem, problem-solving, self-expression, and building positive relationships with peers and adults and fits in well with a school’s normal curriculum.
This is great opportunity for the school’s and for our children. Together we can make it happen. For additional information please contact FRIENDS
