@ TLHS-Wednesdays during tutorial in the Wellness Center
@ SRHS-Fridays during tutorial in the Wellness Center
The primary objectives of the BGG are to:
Create a Safe Space: Establish a safe and confidential environment where young Black girls can share their experiences, concerns, and emotions related to racism in a predominately white school district without fear of judgement and/or discrimination.
Empower and Educate: Equip participants with some knowledge, tools, and strategies to confront bigotry, develop self-esteem, build the fortitude to stand up against racial discrimination in a meaningful way.
Foster Inclusivity: Promote self-confidence and celebrate our diversity within the group, encouraging the young women to value their authentic identities while developing a sense of belonging to a larger community.
Cultivate Leadership: Develop leadership skills, and empowering them to become advocates for justice and equality in their broader communities.
Collaborate and Network: Give opportunities for the participants of the BGG to network and collaborate with others who have similar challenges.

Throughout the week at brunch we promote activities that focus on gratitude, empathy, and mindfulness; three key ideas that are tied to our mental health and wellbeing! Students can also "Shop for Self-Care" choosing from various items such as face masks, journals, fidgets, pimple patches, and an aromatherapy station.
Suicide Prevention Awareness x Kognito Friend2Friend

This 30 minute virtual simulation teaches high school-aged students how to build awareness, knowledge, and skills around emotional and mental wellness. These conversation practices prepare students to recognize signs of distress in their friends and peers, giving them the tools and courage to reach out for support. Curious? Click here for a sample run through of a digital vignette. This virutal simulation program will be provided to all 9th graders during Health classes. A short survey will also be provided following the unit, to explore if the student would like to talk to a mental health staff, or if they would like to recommend that a friend talk to the staff.
