How do I make friends?

Radio 1's Life Hacks

Available for 26 days

No matter what pathway we choose after school, there’s one part of our new chapter we all have to navigate… making friends as an adult! We’re discussing how to make friends as an adult… Plus we're joined by Clinical Psychologist Dr Louise Egan, who specialises in working with young adults during transitional periods. She’ll help us understand why making friends can feel daunting, how social media can help or hinder friendship, and give us practical tools to feel more confident putting ourselves out there. Produced in Salford by Audio Always for BBC Radio 1.
