Friends For Life information



                                         Friends For Life
Here at St.Christopher we are happy to announce our Grade 4 classes will be participating in the Friends for Life Program. This program will begin in the near future and will run for 12 weeks.  Friends for Life teaches cognitive and emotional skills in a simple, well-structured classroom setting.  It will help children cope with feelings of fear, worry, and depression by building resilience and self-esteem.  We encourage the students to bring home the activities to share with their families and practice these new skills.

 FRIENDS helps children and youth gain skills such as: 
Dealing with difficult situations 
Recognizing the signs of anxiety
Relaxation techniques 
Positive thinking  
Problem solving 
Emotional resilience 
Using peer support 
Conflict resolution

If there are any questions or concerns don't hesitate to contact me here at the school.
