HGNA Sets Pilot Program for Parents, Girls
Being an pre-teen girl has never been easy, but today girls are challenged with so much more. Although opportunities for girls have never been better, relational bullying, stress, technology, and materialism have taken their toll. Through separate presentations for parents and girls, this HGNA pilot workshop will offer ways to understand and handle peer conflict and to develop means for forming healthy friendships, peer support and self-worth.
Mary Ellen Young, co-founder of HGNA, and Cindy Navin O'Meara, HGNA board member and school psychologist, will facilitate the parent presentation. Kate Canty, Illinois State University graduate student and intern in the Naperville Community Unit School District, will facilitate the interactive workshop with the girls.
The program is being piloted to small groups through the St Mary's Catholic Church Religious Education Office
The program is the latest in HGNA's effort to make a positive difference in our community by providing education, quality information and resources, to girls and their families.
