Girls Empowerment Group
Why: As girls enter and move through adolescence, many suffer from a severe drop in self-esteem and self-confidence, reduced interest and achievement in school, and an increase in both depression rates and eating disorders. It is imperative to help girls understand the mixed messages they receive from our culture, develop positive feelings about themselves and their futures, make connections with others, and feel free to express themselves.
Ages: 5th, 6th, and 7th grade girls
What group members will learn:
- How to assert themselves and set healthy boundaries with peers
- Expressing their feelings and concerns with friends, family, and school
- Teasing and bullying, relational aggression
- What is going on with all these changes!! Discussing emotional and physical changes. Separating truth from fiction.
- Body image work, exploring feelings around their bodies, learning to accept themselves and developing healthy eating and exercise habits
- Honoring and acknowledging their differences and accepting themselves as they are
