Fostering Friendships and Social Connections (NYC)

Presented by
Director, Social Group Therapy Program; Training Coordinator; Psychologist, Autism Center

Psychologist, Anxiety Disorders Center

All kids run into friendship challenges from time to time. Some may need guidance in dealing with day-to-day conflict or responding to bullying. Others may have underlying issues that affect their ability to make and keep friends — like anxiety, ADHD, or autism. This presentation will cover friendship development across the lifespan of a child, emphasizing what to expect and common social-emotional issues at various developmental stages. Our clinical experts will provide research-backed strategies to support students to foster friendships in today’s complex world.

Breakfast, discussion, and networking to follow. Space is limited, kindly register by November 5th.

We are hosting a series of free professional events to support evidence-based practice in children’s mental health.
