Finding friends and community can be one of the hardest parts of the pre-teen years.

Girl Talk meets that need twofold. Our peer-to-peer model creates meaningful connections with positive role models and peers, while our curriculum helps girls develop the skills to understand their emotions, navigate relationships, and build a positive sense of self. And we know peers are only one piece of the picture. Caring adults, families, educators, and other trusted people all play an important role in creating a strong circle of support around every girl. 🌱 At Girl Talk, our approach to leadership is rooted in open communication, active listening, and compassionate collaboration, reinforcing what we’ve learned through more than two decades of supporting girls: when girls connect through shared experiences and learn to understand perspectives different from their own, they are better equipped to show up for themselves and one another. #worldmentalhealthday
