I Matter 2025: Strong voices, strong girls
*Free* community conference on healthy relationships and wellness for girls (grades 6-12) and the women who support them.
Relationships, “drama,” stress and pressure are among the biggest challenges facing girls in grades 5-12. In fact, 79% of girls report feeling like they are going to “explode” from so much pressure.*
That’s why Ruling Our eXperiences (ROX), The Center for Family Safety & Healing and Nationwide Children’s Hospital have teamed-up to provide you and your girls the resources, education and support to build healthy relationships and enhance your well-being.
Now in its 14th year as a staple event in Central Ohio, I Matter is a free, annual community conference that gives girls in grades 6-12 the skills they need to engage in healthy relationships and provides their mothers and mother figures with the tools and strategies necessary to support them.
Guests will also receive free parking, event swag, refreshments, and exclusive giveaways. Free registration closes 2/12 - sign-up today!
