Make Your Friendships Thrive.

Proven courses and resources to build friendships that bring joy, support, and meaning into your life.

Building a World of 2am Friends.

Imagine a world where each of us has three '2am friends' - people we can talk to, depend on, grow with, and enjoy life with - the kind of people we can call at 2am when everything has gone wrong. At Friendship Lab, we believe this vision can become a reality.

Why Friendship Matters.

Friendship is essential to our happiness and wellbeing, yet more than 20% of us have no close friends, and 51% of us find making new friends hard. Studies show that having close friendships can help:

• Lower anxiety and depression
• Bring greater meaning and joy
• Reduce your risk of heart disease
• Strengthen your marriage
• Even extend your lifespan!
