The Catskill Chronicle

Do you work with girls? Do you have daughters? Granddaughters? 

Are you interested in encouraging them to . . .

* Hold on to their voices and stay true to themselves?

* Enhance judgment and critical-thinking skills to make wise and healthy choices?

* Counter the latest trends toward self-doubt?

* Improve self-esteem?

Planned Parenthood Mid-Hudson Valley is proud to facilitate a new program called Girls Circle to promote these goals and much, much more!

This strengths-based, skill-building approach creates a safe space for girls to address risky behaviors, build on protective factors, and improve relationships in a format that interests and engages girls.

A Girls Circle is an 8–12-week facilitated series program, rich with skill-building themes and activities that promote critical thinking in all areas of a girl’s life.

Programming is available in age-appropriate sets, offering a support circle and activities where girls learn how to develop strength, courage, confidence, honesty and communication skills.

Theme topics include Friendships, Body Image, Honoring Diversity, Relationships with Peers, Expressing Individuality, and Creating a Path to the Future.

For more information or to schedule programming call (845) 838-1200 x 103 or e-mail: education@ppmhv.org.

Girls Circle is funded through a grant from the Patrina Foundation.
