CLIENT CORNER! Joel* had difficulty making friends at school. He often felt he couldn’t relate to his peers because of their different life experiences. Joel’s Supports Coordinator researched youth groups in his community and helped him choose one where he felt comfortable. Within this youth group, Joel has thrived and built meaningful friendships. These friendships have increased his self-esteem and confidence when talking to peers. *Names and images do not reflect actual clients of Familylinks.
