FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Members hire us because they want dedicated assistance in finding and keeping friends. Many of our members find that there are few places to build friendships.  They need assistance in meeting friends and don't know where to get started. Often people come to us after trying various social groups that prove unsuccessful in establishing individual relationships. They feel that one-on-one matching and Individual Communication Skills Training are better options for meeting others. 

We get to know each member so that we can offer a personalized process.  We meet with and provide background checks for everyone first.  The Friendship Remedy is about providing quality friendships as well as the appropriate Training necessary to support and maintain them.  

Since those with difficulties are challenged by many of the necessary skills to successfully meet, interact, and maintain friendships, individual lessons must be an integral part of the process.  Our teachers have a very hands-on approach.  As you learn the curriculum, they will tailor it to coincide with your needs as you have your get-together. After they will get feedback from both sides and continue to help tweak interactions to prepare for the next one as the friendship progresses.  

While we cannot guarantee that you’ll definitely meet a whole group of friends with our service, we can guarantee that we will work relentlessly on your behalf.  We will also help to expand your self-awareness, knowledge and gain a greater understanding about how to form and keep relationships. 

We primarily cover the Tri-State area.  However, we also work with people Nationwide.  Call us to discuss your area.

When a match is found we will contact both members and provide basic details and contact information for each other. You and your families will be responsible for arranging the time and place to get together as well as chaperones when needed.  After arranging the meeting, you will notify us of the meeting details. If you will have your meetings with your teacher, the teacher will then be the one to  coordinate. 

Afterward, we will contact both parties to receive feedback. If you feel the match wasn't for you, we will apply your feedback to improve your future experience.
