EMOTIONAL WELLNESS

When girls develop the ability to identify, express, and manage their feelings, they build a foundation for emotional resiliency. Nurturing these capabilities requires safe environments where girls learn to care for the full range of their emotions. This support system, coupled with the presence of caring adults, helps in the reduction of the mental health challenges girls face, including bullying, eating disorders, and depression.
