Marisa G. Franco: How to Make Friends Part 1

April 30 @ 8:00 pm - 9:30 pm

Join Dr. Marisa G. Franco, a renowned psychologist, professor, and author of the forthcoming book “Platonic: How to Make and Keep Friends as an Adult,” for a two-part virtual workshop series on the science of friendship.

In this workshop, Dr. Franco will reveal the science behind what makes friendship happen and provide you with practical, evidence-based strategies for making new friends. You’ll learn that friendship doesn’t always develop organically and gain the tools you need to actively cultivate meaningful connections. All proceeds from this event will be donated to the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund.
