Friendship: Emotional Support

Brian and *Tyler have been matched for three years in the Canby area.

Brian is a veteran of the Iraqi war and he first met Tyler when he was in first grade.

Tyler was being bullied at school and was struggling with how he should respond.

Through Faithful Friends, Brian found out about A Kids Book About Bullying and he shared the book with Tyler. They were able to talk through some healthy ways to deal with bullying in the future.

We are so grateful for Brian and our other mentors who continue to struggle with the challenges of providing healthy emotional support to children navigating life.
