There's nothing like a good friend.

They're the people who make you laugh. They have your back. And, they take care of you when times get tough.

But making new friends as an adult can be challenging, especially as we try to balance jobs, families and big life changes.

On Midday Edition, we take a deep dive into all things friendship — how to make friends, keep friends and everything in between.

Our journey takes us from Kate Sessions Park, to the therapy room, Lestat's on Adams Ave, and improv at Liberty Station.
