The “Friendship Bench” is a proactive solution designed to combat loneliness and social anxiety among school children, particularly those who are new to a school. Here’s how it works:
The Buddy Bench serves as a designated spot where students can go if they’re feeling isolated or lonely and want to talk to other children.
Sitting on the bench is a non-verbal cue to other kids that the individual is seeking companionship. Other students recognize this signal and are encouraged to approach the bench to talk and play, offering friendship.
