Last week, our HealthMPowers team joined @girlscoutsatl for the release of the 2026 State of the Georgia Girl Report, a powerful look at what it means to grow up as a girl in Georgia today. Among the findings: ➡️ 27% of middle and high school girls report not getting ANY physical activity over the last week ➡️ 35% of middle and high school girls report intense anxiety, while two in three lack a caring adult to talk with about their feelings These findings resonate deeply with our work through Girls Empowering Movement (GEM). GEM began with physical activity, but girls have shown us that movement can be so much more. When girls have a safe, supportive space to move together, lead together and make decisions about their own well-being, they can build connection, belonging, confidence and skills to support their mental wellness. We're excited to announce that HealthMPowers is an early founding member of the Atlanta Area Girls Collaborative, a new effort designed to turn the report's evidence into coordinated action through aligned programming, collaborative funding, partner support and focused workgroups. No single program or organization will change these trendlines alone. It will take all of us listening to girls, investing in what they say they need, and creating more places where they can move, connect, belong and lead. We're excited to bring what we've learned through GEM to this collaboration, and even more excited about what we can learn and build together. Georgia girls are full of potential. Let's make sure they have the conditions to thrive.
