In this presentation, Michelle will unpack her innovative Friendship Smart Framework.

This is not surface-level advice. It’s not a list of “red and green flags.” It’s a fresh, research informed framework built from over 30 years of working closely with young people that helps you understand how friendships actually work, and what your kids need to navigate them well.

Michelle will bring her sought after warmth and practicality so you walk away with:

✔ A fresh friendship smart framework and a set of friendship shapes that will open conversations and empower kids

✔ Tools to help our kids navigate friendship changes and transitions with more confidence

✔ Tools to teach reciprocity and why this skill matters more than ever in today’s culture

✔ A broader understanding of how technology, loneliness, and modern pressures are shaping friendships Get ready for a powerful, practical session that will change the way you understand and support your tween and teen’s friendships.
