“What kind of lessons does BIO Girls teach?”
We equip participants with the skills necessary to combat societal pressures and recognize their inherent values. All of our lessons and activities map to one of these key teaching areas: emotional coping, resilience, healthy relationships and self-worth.
“Why is the program only open to 2nd through 6th-grade girls?”
BIO Girls is a preventive mental wellness program for adolescent girls. The data shows us that girls are struggling at almost double the rate of boys with mental health issues. Research also shows that girls' self-esteem is highest in the 3rd grade and plummets to a low by the 6th grade. Working with girls in this very transformative time in their lives helps the girls learn skills that will combat low self-esteem. BIO Girls provides a space to be a part of something that is bigger than themselves in an inclusive environment, without pressures and competition, where they feel like they have a place where they can belong.
