My Voice Teen Girls Group

My Voice: Empowerment for Girls

Who

Girl-identified and non-binary adolescents who are in 7th, 8th, and 9th grades in Fall 2024.

What

My Voice: Empowerment for Girls is a support group that will help adolescents discover their true selves while building confidence. My Voice will give girls the chance to relate to peers and form relationships while exploring topics that are relevant to young adolescents.

The therapist leading this group will use sections of the renowned curriculum, Voices: A Program of Self-Discovery and Empowerment for Girls, to guide discussion. Over the course of six weeks, group members will explore topics such as communication styles, friendship, dating and sexuality, healthy relationships, body image, cyber safety and online identity, physical and emotional wellness, drugs and alcohol, and self esteem. All discussion content will be kept confidential.

Group members will learn and practice wellness interventions such as mindfulness, interaction with nature, movement, writing, and art. Specific activities and other topics for discussion will be determined based on the expressed interests of group members when the group begins.

When

This group will take place on Fridays from 4:15 – 5:30 pm from October 4 – November 15, 2024 (skip October 18).

Where

This group will take place in the group room at Sentier and will include outdoor activities almost every week.
