Good Friends vs Bad Friends

One of our 5 keys we focus on in our workshops is Good Friends versus Bad Friends. Coming up with ideas for this station, came from a lot of personal experience when going through my self-worth trials. These friendships are something that I have realized have a huge impact on my view of self. Often, we let those around us; greatly influence what we think of ourselves.
