FRIENDS RESILIENCE

Cognitive behavioural therapy-based (CBT) group programs for children and caregivers.

What is FRIENDS Resilience?

FRIENDS Resilience programs are a suite of developmentally sensitive, cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) based programs developed by Dr. Paula Barrett designed to build life-long resilience in children, families, adults, schools, and communities. The World Health Organization has endorsed them as a best practice for the prevention and treatment of anxiety and depression in children while also promoting resilience.
