SUMMARY:Fearless Friends Bravery Program for Ages 3 to 9 in Boston\, MA
DESCRIPTION:The Fearless Friends Bravery Program at The Baker Center for Children and Families is a short-term summer program for children ages 3–9 who have difficulty speaking with others\, including adults and peers in school\, community\, or social settings. The program is designed to help children build “brave talking” skills through structured\, supported practice in a fun and engaging environment. \n\n\n\nFearless Friends simulates a school-like setting and provides guided opportunities for children to interact with peers and adults\, participate in group activities (e.g.\, morning meeting\, art projects\, games)\, and engage in community-based outings that encourage real-world speaking practice. Children receive individualized support with a 1:1 counselor-to-child ratio\, and caregivers are actively involved to help support and maintain progress beyond the program. \n\n\n\nFor more information\, please visit our website at https://www.bakercenter.org/fearlessfriends or contact the Center of Effective Therapy at the Baker Center for Children and Families at 617-278-5300.
