In this Healthy Living and Life Skills program, girls will be empowered with the tools to transform their self-image, realize their full potential, take on a variety of leadership roles, and be independent thinkers. Participants will gain the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to be in charge of their bodies + sustain a healthy, positive sense of self. Interactive sessions focus on recognizing and moving beyond limiting sex-role stereotypes for women; using values as a basis for positive decision-making; building assertiveness, refusal, and relationship skills; + avoiding risky behavior.
With support from their Girls Inc. Facilitator, 9th-12th grade girls will learn about the importance of physical activity, a positive body image, healthy eating habits, and that stress management is a normal part of life. Furthermore, girls will be encouraged to be an advocate for their own well-being, so they can be healthy today + throughout their lives, and realize their own power as community resources + trustees of the common good.
