Friendship Survival Guide

Friendships are of vital importance for all age-groups and good friendships go hand-in-hand with good mental health. But what is a friend, and why do we need them so much?

This insightful guide explores how we can make friends, how we can keep them, what makes a good friend and whether we need best friends.

It provides advice on recognizing fake and toxic friendships, surviving fall-outs and break-ups, and building resilience while successfully navigating the choppy waters around tribes, cliques, groups and gangs. There's also help for those coping with bullying and unkind behaviour.

Interactive quizzes, fun illustrations and easy to read top tips make for an engaging, accessible read.
