Friendship Groups
Friendship Groups help children learn the basics of friendship as well as how to manage challenging social situations. We use games, crafts, friendship circles, team challenges, stories, and skits to help children learn and practice the skills. Groups are kept small to ensure the children receive enough attention and practice of skills. It is a lot of fun!
