The iFriend outpatient group therapy program at Bradley Hospital promotes social competence in a school‐age population. The 10‐week‐program helps children ages 8–11 develop and practice social skills in a small group setting. The skills developed include understanding body language, finding shared interests, conversation initiation and closing, perspective taking, equitable communication, and problem solving. iFriend also aims to teach parents/guardians strategies to help their children integrate the targeted skills into daily life.
