Friends For You

Friends For You is a very helpful program for children with depression. I really like this particular program because it deters children from the stress of one-on-one counseling and lets them confide in a bear to alleviate stress. Teddy bears have always been considered as a child's best friend, so I feel as if this method of venting will definitely work especially for those who are socially reclusive. Many may argue that socializing with a bear will cause social withdrawals, but the program reassures that this will not be a problem. Children will not only benefit socially, but their development of conducting positive conversations will increase as well. Overall, I think the group did a great job with the delivery of their presentation and answering the questions promptly and thoroughly.
