The goal of the Girls’ Group is to provide a safe space to address topics that can be difficult to negotitate in adolescent, such as self-esteem, body image, relationships, safe sex, dealing with depression or anxiety.   Group members will also have the opportunity to bring attention to items that are working, as well as those that members would like to improve upon.  The group will follow a Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach, where the emphasis will be placed not only on sharing and understanding emotion, but also learning techniques and strategies that can help solve problems more effectively.  The group will provide an opportunity to discuss issues with same-aged peers who share similar struggles, as well as learn and practice practical life and communication skills.
