Setting Boundaries Within Friendships

Class Description

Friendships can be a source of joy, support, and connection—but even the best friendships need boundaries to stay healthy. In this empowering class, students will learn how to protect their emotional space, speak up for themselves with confidence, and build stronger relationships through clear communication.

Through interactive discussion, relatable examples, and guided reflection, students will explore what healthy boundaries look like in real-life friendships. They’ll gain tools to express their needs kindly, recognize when a boundary has been crossed, and create a “Friendship Circle” that helps them decide who has access to their time, energy, and heart.

By the end of class, students will understand that boundaries are not walls—they’re bridges to better relationships built on mutual respect and self-worth.
