The Friendship Squad Testimonials
Testimonials
"I've been chatting with my squad friend since November 2021. I am an introvert and tend to isolate, so it's been helpful to have structure and commitment. I now look forward to our conversations and I am so happy to have a lovely new friend."

"Being a part of the friendship squad allowed me to meet some strong women that I may not have met otherwise, who I can learn from. We can talk about struggles we are going through, and work together to lift ourselves up. Being a part of this group helps me open myself up to understanding myself and the world around me."

"The Friendship Squad model works for it is written in our DNA to be social creatures….We thrive on the bonds we have with one another, and I didnt get the weight of this knowledge until COVID isolated me from my fellow counterparts. The Friendship Squad brought the reality of what connections mean full circle to me and for that I am simply grateful."

“The Friendship Squad offers a chance for me and a peer from a different way of life or geographic area to connect in ways that are different from a telehealth call from a therapist or a psychiatrist. No therapy. Just two people sharing their pains, joys, tribulations, successes, missteps, hopes, fears, and dreams.”

"Friendship is important to me. Regina is in her 50s and I am in my 40s. I like talking on the phone with her and she sends me emails. Our female friendship is off to a good start. She encourages me and I try to be a good friend to her in return."
