Why this course

Support that makes the next step clearer.

Built for real friendship moments: group chats, dares, being left out, saying no, and what to do when things get awkward.

For parents and carers

When friendships feel intense, confusing, or one-sided

Look for the pattern, not a label. This course may be a useful fit when several of these moments keep repeating.

You may be seeing

  • A delayed reply, changed plan, or disagreement feels like total rejection
  • They agree to things they dislike, then become angry or disappear
  • Friendship conflict repeatedly becomes all-or-nothing
