our groups

We currently run 6 groups per year (Fall/Winter & Spring) in four age groups:

10/11;    12/13;    14-16;    17-21

Groups run after school weekly for 9-12 sessions.

NEW! Due to COVID-19, Girls Group is going online! We are offering the same support and topics of interest in a safe place. If you don’t have a cell phone or tablet, we can help!

The format is interactive and incorporates a check-in each day, a topic for the day and two or three activities to illustrate the topic such as art activities, journaling, role plays, and discussion (large and small groups).

The content of the groups’ sessions includes:

  • communication skills,
  • healthy relationships,
  • mental health,
  • substance misuse,
  • the role power in relationships,
  • gender stereotypes,
  • violence in relationships,
  • relational aggression and its connection to internalized oppression of girls and women,
  • substance use,
  • sexual health,
  • self-care,
  • media literacy
  • body image
