Are you in year 7? Do you currently have a girl in year 7 and worry about her wellbeing, as she approaches teenage years?
Everyone knows that being a teenager isn’t easy! You’ll probably have to deal with hormones, body changes, school stress, arguments with parents, friendship dramas, and worries… But don’t fear because You Grow Girl is here for you!
You Grow Girl Is a monthly well-being group for girls in year 8. We want to help you to learn the skills you need to take on your teenage years feeling positive, confident and strong! School teaches you loads of great stuff, right? Well, mostly(!), but there is also a whole load of useful stuff that school doesn’t teach you! Things Like:
How to feel your best, get the most out of your life & look after your well-being
How to figure out who you are & what’s most important to you
How your brain works & why you have different thoughts & feelings
What anxiety is & how it affects us all
What you can do to help yourself when life is hard, and you feel stressed, anxious, angry or down
How to be a friend to yourself
You grow girl is an exciting new well-being group starting this September; It’s all about girls learning, sharing and growing together.
The group will give you the chance to meet regularly with other girls your age to learn about how to look after your well-being, share your experiences and support each other to feel good!
We will meet once a month for a couple of hours on a Saturday morning, 9:30-11:30 AM. The group will be nice and small (max of 10 girls) with the same girls at each session and there will be free snacks and drinks!
The group will go on for a year so that you can all really get to know each other and learn new skills that will help you to feel good and and look after yourselves. The group will be relaxed, fun and Interactive, with a range of different activities thrown in. We will get out into nature when possible, get active and be creative. There will even be a special session with a mystery outdoor activity (to be revealed closer to the time!).
There will be something for everyone! The group will take place on a special lakeside lodge in Wychnor, near Burton-Upon-Trent. It’s a beautiful, calming spot surrounded by trees and wildlife.
The group will be run by Anna and Faizia, who are both Psychologists, Mums and former teenage girls! We are both passionate about helping girls to feel good in their teen years and we would absolutely love you to join us for the group
We want you to enter your teenage years feeling confident, strong and positive… Knowing who you are…. being a friend to yourself and with the skills to take on any challenges you may face! We also hope that friendships will blossom from the group, so as well as gaining important life skills, you could also gain a new friend/s!
