Janet's Journey to Friendship

Janet is desperate to make new friends and be close to other people, but she just doesn't know how. When she approaches people in the park and tries to touch them, they are frightened. Janet feels devastated and lonely.

With the help of her friend Monica, Janet learns about the right ways to make friends and how to behave safely with people she doesn't know yet. Friendships and relationships are important elements in everyone's life.

If someone doesn't have experience of friendships or normal loving touch, making friends can be fraught with difficulty. Some people struggle with understanding even the basics of safe behaviour in public.

This book can help people talk about safe ways to make friends, and to reflect on times when inappropriate behaviour may get them into trouble.
