Teenagers choosing healthy friendships is of monumental importance!

It incorporates interesting and eye-opening assessments to encourage participants to explore their own personal friendship behavior, as well as that of their friends. The Teen Friendship Workbook contains five separate sections to help teens learn more about themselves and the skills that are fundamental to developing and maintaining healthy friendships. Participating in these exercises will help teens discover and better understand the importance of these skills to live in harmony with a friend or a set of friends. The five areas of study include: Characteristics of friends; Friendship skills; Friend communication skills; Friendship personality; and Peer pressure.
