The BC FRIENDS For Life Parent Program has been developed by parents for parents and can be used with children/youth aged 5 thru 15.
New material is being added on a regular basis and soon! there will be a new website specifically for Fun FRIENDS (K-1). In meanwhile, you will find materials for children and youth.
This online program has six video segments with corresponding easy-to-use resource material sections. Just click on the tab for the section you want to learn about (or simply follow in order of sections 1 thru 6). The link to the corresponding video is on the upper left. (click on the computer monitor pic). Watch the videos at your own pace, as time allows.
The video is divided into segments that correspond with the specific FRIENDS skills in that section. Each section has parent-friendly work sheets and resources that you can click on to either download to your own computer or to print. You are free to download and use these materials for your personal use. This program (video segments and corresponding materials) is not meant to replace the services or expertise of your doctor or any professional you may be working with.
We hope that you enjoy the video and materials supplied, as well as the extra resources we have provided in Section 6. Please take a moment to fill out the quick feedback form located in any of the six program sections so that we can continue to develop materials that parents would like.
If you are looking for an online Community to meet other parents, to discuss and share your thoughts on building resiliency and helping with anxiety issues in your children and youth, please register to participate in the BC FRIENDS Parent Program Forum - follow the link to the left.
