G.I.R.L.S. Empowered and Strong (GES) is a program for girls ages 12 to 17 that aims to provide the skills and knowledge they will need in order to make healthy life choices, thereby preventing future involvement in the criminal legal system.
GES addresses the realities that teen girls face in their daily lives. The program is FASD friendly and is designed to be able to meet the unique needs of girls with this diagnosis while building emotional, intrapersonal, and interpersonal skills for all girls. Program workshops address topics such as identity, healthy relationships, self-esteem, self-care and coping, emotional management, body-image/confidence, healthy sexuality, communication, shoplifting, peer pressure and other important issues.
The program is free, LGBTQ2S+ friendly, and flexible, both in its content and its location. Please contact us to inquire about any of the following components of the GES program:
