- Friends for Life
FRIENDS for Life helps children and teenagers
cope with feelings of fear, worry, and depression
by building resilience and self-esteem and teaching
cognitive and emotional skills in a simple, well-structured format. Used in schools and clinics throughout the world, FRIENDS is the only childhood anxiety prevention program acknowledged by the World Health Organization for its 12 years of comprehensive evaluation and practice. It has proved effective for up to 6 years after initial exposure.
- Anxiety is the most common form of mental disorder, affecting up to 15% of children and adolescents. Anxiety significantly interferes with a child’s ability to confidently handle everyday situations including relationships with peers, adults and family, and school achievement. If left unattended, these anxiety difficulties may continue into young adulthood, sometimes leading to depression. FRIENDS combats anxiety by fostering an emotional resilience in children & teenagers that will stay with them for life.
The Phoenix Centre for Children & Families and the PMFRC have teamed up to offer the FRIENDS for Life program to military families. This program includes:
- FRIENDS for Children 7–11 years
FRIENDS for Youth 12–16 years
- Phoenix Centre For Children and Families
