Friendships: an incredibly important but perhaps rather difficult facet of our lives, especially as adults. Friendships are crucial for giving and receiving support, boosting our mood and overall well-being, offloading our partner from needing to be our everything, and keeping our heads above water in the hardest of moments. 

But you may be asking yourself: How do I find new friends? How do I pick the right ones for me, rather than just settling for any friendship? How to I build friendships that can stand the test of time? What really matters when it comes to healthy, enduring friendships? We are here to answer all of these questions and more! 

Join us as we explore friendship! The meaning of friendship and how friendship evolves changes drastically from childhood/adolescence into adulthood. It can feel tricky, or even impossible, to find new and quality friendships. We are here to offer some suggestions to not only find friends, but also a gameplan to confidently identify who is the best fit for your inner circle and ways to fortify your friendships for long term. We all deserve supportive, loving friends, including you!
