In response to the social and relational challenges faced by girls, we will be hosting a drop-in group where they can come together in a safe space to share their experiences supported by mental health professionals.
Recognizing the increasing social and emotional pressures faced by young girls today, we have created an informal support group. This safe and inclusive space allows girls to connect with peers, share their experiences, and build resilience.
Our dedicated team of mental health professionals includes experienced counsellors, social workers, art therapist and yoga therapist. They provide guidance and support tailored to the unique needs of each girl.
To make learning fun and engaging, the group will combine open discussions, creative activities, and practical worksheets. This approach will help girls learn new skills, process their emotions, and build confidence in a supportive and interactive environment.
Boost self-esteem and confidence: We help girls recognize their strengths, values, and unique qualities.
Develop healthy coping mechanisms: We equip girls with effective strategies to navigate challenging social situations, such as "mean girl" behaviors, bullying, and peer pressure.
Improve social and emotional skills: We foster empathy, communication, and assertiveness skills, enabling girls to build and maintain healthy relationships.
Promote self-awareness and emotional regulation: We guide girls in understanding and managing their emotions, such as anxiety, anger, and sadness.
Create a supportive community: We provide a safe and welcoming environment where girls feel heard, understood, and accepted.
