Friendship Builders (6 weeks)—Ages 9–13

Detailed course description:

Friendship Builders is an interactive, fun-filled program designed to support youth in building and maintaining friendships. The lessons are taught through role playing and group work. The course will cover common barriers to positive friendships such as making new friends, sharing, communicating, problem-solving, joining groups, and developing social skills. Parents/guardians will participate in the program for the final 15 minutes of each class to actively engage in the learning process with their child. We will review the content and set a plan in motion for consistent skill practice throughout the week.
