Healthy Friendships - Your Questions Answered

This accessible book explores what friendship is and why it''s so important to our well-being and provides practical suggestions for teens and young adults wishing to experience deeper, more fulfilling connections. What exactly separates a friend from an acquaintance? Can men and women really "just be friends"? How do friendships change as we move from childhood to adolescence to adulthood?

Prevalent myths and misconceptions are identified and dispelled, and a collection of case studies illustrates key concepts and issues through relatable stories and insightful recommendations.
