Bringing attention to social media and ways that we can have boundaries to protect our mental health.

During my time running this course...
During my time running this course, I have seen the impact and value of creating a safe space for the girls to not only receive support specifically tailored around key difficult topics, but to learn it’s not only them with those kind of thoughts of worries and hear other girls voicing how they may also be feeling. It is so incredibly powerful to know that you aren’t alone and the sighs of relief, and the “I thought it was just me but it isn’t” comments
that I witness is why I am so passionate about running these programs and creating these spaces for girls.
