The Friendship Formula : A social skills programme to develop an awareness of self and others

Schroeder, Alison

Pavlic, Dusan and Jon Mitchell

Notes
Many children find it difficult to establish and maintain friendships. A lack of confidence and the skills necessary to feel comfortable in social settings may impact upon all aspects of their school day and their life beyond the classroom. Working through this exciting programme will help such children to learn the essential communication and relationship skills that so many of us take for granted.
The Friendship Formula’s unique approach provides focused intervention in the form of 40 sessions, divided into four units focusing on : self-awareness; emotional awareness; conversational skills and friendship skills.
Contents
