The world's leading school-based anxiety prevention program FRIENDS for Life helps children and teenagers cope with feelings of fear, worry, and depression by building resilience and self-esteem and teaching cognitive and emotional skills in a simple, well-structured format. Used in schools and clinics throughout the world, FRIENDS is the only childhood anxiety prevention program acknowledged by the World Health Organization for its 8 years of comprehensive evaluation and practice. It has proved effective for up to 6 years after initial exposure. A specially adapted New Zealand version of the FRIENDS program has been established with the help of the Life Paths Charitable Trust. Life Paths can also provide training for teachers. DOWNLOAD our free Introduction to FRIENDS booklet See FRIENDS featured in TIME Magazine Visit the Australian FRIENDS web site.
