About this template
The Friendship Survey is a specialized tool designed for educators, school counselors, and social workers to gain insights into the social-emotional development of students. By understanding how students perceive, build, and maintain friendships, professionals can better identify those who may need additional support in developing healthy interpersonal relationships.
