Circle of Friends Guide

My professional relationship with Susan Fee began two years ago at which time I engaged her services as a consultant for my business clients. Susan was instrumental in bringing a high level of service and training to businesses and organizations that were in need of improved communication and leadership skills in their workplaces.

As a resource for educational community services, I have found Susan's resources an invaluable tool for community outreach. "Circle of Friends" is a well-organized, understandable and easy-to-use resource for parents who are concerned with their daughters'friendships. Susan's approach focuses on the positive and offers suggestions and information that are founded in reliable and valid research.

Helping Girls Gain Valuable skills

Having worked with thousands of girls in recreation and school programs, I see the need to give them valuable life skills. Circle of F.R.I.E.N.D.S. gives practical tools for teachers, Scout leaders and anyone else working with young girls to teach them skills they'll use the rest of their lives. The interactive exercises show girls how to make choices, be a good friend and solve problems. Circle of F.R.I.E.N.D.S. gives girls a chance to learn through role play, interactive activities and creative projects.Some of the ideas can even be used at Birthday parties!

An impressive, practical resource

Although Circle of F.R.I.E.N.D.S (COF) was written for a younger audience (ages 8-14), I envision its use with even older teens in high school as well. As a former high school educator in Ohio, many of Susan Fee's activities would have been useful in Health Education, English class, and even Social Psychology courses. Even her chapter on "stress management" applies to many younger and older teens today as some juggle studies, after school jobs, divorce arrangements, etc. The COF Facilitator's Guide can easily be used by parents during summertime, by therapists who see younger girls (individually or in group sessions), and even as a resource for college professors who teach Childhood Development or Teacher Training courses. One of my favorite elements of Susan's book is the CD ROM containing reproducible handouts for any facilitator using her group activities. This book is invaluable, practical and holistic in its approach to girls' development. Well worth the investment!

Sticks and stones can break your bones, but words can break your heart. Welcome to the complex world of girls and their friendships. As girls develop they need the skills to define and maintain healthy friendships, express their feelings, regulate emotions, and develop self-care practices.

The acronym stands for Feeling Respect, Independence, Encouragement, Nourishment, Determination, and Sisterhood.

This guide includes 65 small group activities to help girls learn skills in five key areas:
1. Positive self-image
2. Healthy friendships
3. Conflict resolution and communication
4. Emotional strength
5. Stress management

These core areas are addressed in modules. Each module includes interactive exercises and activities designed to promote self-reflection, sharing, empathy, and respect for oneself and others.

The material can be used in a number of settings and is appropriate for teachers, parents, school counselors, camps, scouts, private therapists, and community groups. In addition to step-by-step instructions for getting started this guide includes:
