Befriending Lewis

TYPES OF BEFRIENDING:
* Face-to-face
* Telephone Befriending
* Group Befriending
* Healthier Lives Befriending

Traditional face-to-face befriending allows for the development of an ordinary, warm, reliable relationship with another person who is lonely and may have other life problems. Face-to-face befriending usually takes the form of a weekly visit from the Befriender to the Befriendees home, or enjoying coffee, lunch or other activities out-with the Befriendees home.
