It can be hard to make friends as an adult.
A single friend helps relieve loneliness. 5 fulfilling friendships create vibrant social health.
We help you make them.
The 5 Friends Membership
I’m offering a brand-new membership community, designed to help you make 5 Fulfilling Friendships.
If you:
Feel dissatisfied with your social life 😕
Want more people to do things with and have FUN with 🎉
Wish you had friends to talk to—about what’s going on and how you really feel 💬
Then this is for you! I’m currently welcoming founding members to help build this community from the ground up.
As a founding member, you’ll get:
Step-by-step guidance on HOW to make friends.
You’ll have access to The Secret to Making Friends as an Adult course, which demystifies to process of how to connect and develop meaningful friendships. You’ll be given concrete tools and handouts.
A personal peer support team.
You won’t be on this journey alone. Every two weeks you’ll meet with your “team” … a group of 4-5 peers. You’ll set personal friendship goals, and check in with group to hold each other accountable, and cheer each other on.
Conversation, connection & community
You’ll be able to join live Zoom conversations (guided with question prompts) to practice connection skills, And you’ll have access to a private community space to share with people who get it ❤️.
By joining the 5 Friends community, you can expect to:
Strengthen your connection skills. You’ll learn what the science says really works to create connection, so you’ll know where to focus your efforts. Then you’ll have the chance to practice specific skills in bi-weekly guided small-group “Convo Cafes.”
Develop deeper, more rewarding friendships, and have FUN in the process. You’ll be led through a step-by-step process, starting with a self-assessment of how you’re feeling about your current relationships, followed by developing a “friendship plan” with manageable action steps to deepen existing relationships and/or make new ones. While the focus is on making friends IRL, you’re likely to make connections with other 5 Friends members, especially on your peer support team.
Live weekly Zooms with direct access to me, I (Jessica Gifford, LICSW, ProjectConnect Founder) will be with you each step of the way. I’ll be on the weekly Zooms to create a safe, inclusive space, provide guidance, coach you through obstacles, answer questions, and help facilitate connection.
Plus, you’ll receive the founding member rate—the lowest it will ever be, locked in for the life of your membership.
Fulfilling friendships are possible. You don’t have to figure it out alone. I’d be honored to help guide and support you on your friendship journey.
