A Girl's Way (11-15 YRS)

The transition from elementary or middle school to high school can be a scary one for many young girls. Suddenly, kids go from a familiar environment to a new place, often with hundreds more kids, and new social norms and customs. Heading to high school opens the door to a number of new safety concerns, especially for girls.

Consider that high school is often when kids are introduced to drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, and dating, and peer pressure is at an all-time high. Are you confident that your daughter is prepared for this new phase in her life?

Now that your daughter is at the age that she is, testing her limitations and seeking more independence, it is important that she has the confidence and ability to recognize risky situations and make safe choices when it comes to her health and safety.

This dynamic teen safety course is designed specifically for girls ages 12 – 15 years and covers topics such as:

Setting boundaries with friends and acquaintances
Increasing critical thinking skills
Drug and alcohol awareness
Identifying potentially dangerous relationships
Raising self-esteem
Developing healthy body image
Internet safety
Plus more…

Role play, scenarios and group work help reinforce the safety lessons while providing students with knowledge to draw from if faced with a dangerous situation.

This program is empowering, engaging and non-threatening.
