What Is
Our “WHY”?
Let’s just start with the jaw-dropping statistics about our teen girls in the United States… The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) reports that suicide is the second leading cause of death among youth aged 10-19 in the United States, with girls making more suicide attempts than boys.
The National Domestic Violence Hotline reports that 1 in 3 adolescents in the U.S. is a victim of physical, sexual, emotional, or verbal abuse from a dating partner.
According the GIRL SCOUTS, only 1 in 5 girls believe they have the skills to be a leader.
Our organization addresses these critical issues head on. We are dedicated to making a positive and impactful change in the lives of these girls, empowering them to overcome these challenges and reach their full potential. Mental health support is crucial to address the mental health struggles faced by many teen girls. The organization provides comprehensive mental health support, promoting open dialogue about mental well-being, and providing a safe and nurturing space for these girls. Relationship education and prevention are essential to equip teen girls with the knowledge and tools to recognize and navigate healthy relationships. The organization aims to break the cycle of abuse and empower girls to cultivate positive relationships.
