ABOUT THE FRIENDSHIP BENCH IN A BOX
Why the FB In A Box
The Friendship Bench In A Box brings together lessons from over 15 years of implementing the Friendship Bench model in an effort to provide a coherent step by step process on how others can introduce Friendship Bench in a new setting or how to maintain/sustain Friendship Bench in an area where it has already been introduced.
