1. Strong
Girls!
SELF ESTEEM AND SELF RESPECT
GROUP FOR TEEN GIRLS
This 10 week group counselling program for teenage
girls is designed to help young girls ages 12 and above to believe
in themselves, to feel good about the unique person they are
and to help them discover their own special gifts.
The social world for teenage girls can be a stressful and
challenging environment. The rise in peer pressure, competitive
conflicts, and unhealthy social media messages are all likely
contributors to an increase in anxiety, mood disorder and low
self-esteem in girls.
In the ‘Strong Girls!’ counselling group the focus is on building
self-esteem by establishing an acceptable body image,
developing a positive self-concept, and forming healthy peer
relationships. The goal is to increase the girls’ ability to make
safe and healthy choices, to develop skills to combat peer
pressure, to learn and practice effective coping strategies to
address negative feelings and to feel connected with other girls.
