The Purpose of the SHE Forum
To create awareness and to educate girls and their parents about fostering respect and communication and expanding their opportunities. The day is shared with their parents to learn about relational aggression, self-image, connective relationships, and enlightened parenting.
The interactive girl workshops will engage participants as they explore these age appropriate topics.
- Personal safety and relational aggression strategies presented by local community outreach agencies
- Staying Health and keeping fit with modern dance moves
- Self Image and being your best
- Living your dream
The She Forum is open to parents, professionals, and girls in grades 5-8. Parents (that means moms, dads, grandparents and the like) are strongly encouraged to participate.
Sessions for parents will be separate from the girls sessions, running concurrently. Parent/Adult sessions focus specifically on real-time trends and topics such as navigating the “cyberworld," talking to your girls about the sensitive issues, current drug trends, and authentic strategies and interventions to improve girl and parent communication. Parents and girls will come together for the first presentation, during lunch and at the end of the day.
Girls will walk away with a bag of “goodies."
For more information, questions about registration or the event please call Gina Durbin (480)575-2026.
