I think befriending is ran really well.  It has really helped my son be more outgoing and confident.  He can’t wait to see his befriender when it’s time for him to see her.  His manner is much happier, I feel.  He has made friends and he doesn’t look so depressed as he did before.  He feels valued.  He talks to me a bit more and is a bit more open.  Very positive help.  Thank you!
