The Building Friendships Skills Facilitator Guide is a collection of step-by-step instructions for teaching 28 social skills activities (580 minutes) to groups of youth and adults.
Friendships develop between business associates, school chums, neighbors, shipmates, soldiers, club members, church members, criminals, politicians, explorers and others. Even special bonds form between people and animals. A dog is often characterized as “man’s best friend.” Friendship should not be confused with friendliness, intimacy, sociability and support. Friendship is much more.
