Girls report that they are under constant pressure and feel that there is no one to talk to about their feelings. Couple this with the need to fit in with their peers, desire to please parents and teachers, and pressure to look, act, and perform everything flawlessly, girls are navigating a stressful world. So how are they coping? Research suggests that girls are more likely than boys to cope by seeking support and expressing their emotions, however, we also know that girls' relationships can become tense, competitive, or even combative during their adolescent years. This workshop will take a deep dive into the complex experiences of girls, their relationships, and their primary stressors. Participants will gain strategies to help girls develop self-compassion, healthy friendships and boundaries, and the coping skills to navigate stress and pressure.
