To coincide with the launch of her new book, Friendship Smart, Illume Learning is thrilled to host this webinar presented by Michelle Mitchell.
In this webinar, Michelle will unpack her innovative Friendship Smart Framework. This is not surface-level advice, or a list of 'red and green flags'. It's a fresh, research-informed framework built from over 30 years of working closely with young people that helps kids understand how friendships actually work, and how to navigate them well.
Together we will explore:
- The Friendship Smart Framework - the blueprint for every meaningful relationship kids will ever have.
- Tools to help navigate friendship changes and transitions with more confidence
- Script and language to help kids respond to drama and bullying with confidence
- A broader understanding of how technology, loneliness and modern pressures are shaping friendships
