The Social Skills Group is a therapeutic program to support girls as they deal with life issues, such as self esteem and body image, stress, bullying, depression, anxiety, cyber use, relationships, and peer pressure.
Our activities and engagement during each session promote self awareness, self management, social awareness, relationship building, and responsible decision making, which are the core competencies of Social and Emotional Learning.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a psychological method of recognizing, interrupting, and changing negative thought patterns into positive ones. While we have topics to address, we pay attention to the subjects that engage the group and stay on specific topics for as long as they are interested in working through them. This flexible technique means that meeting times, dates, and frequency are flexible and up to the discretion of the school. However, the minimum numbers of meetings required is six. This ensures the girls will experience the full benefits of the group.
Enrichment Workshops take place throughout the year and provide our young ladies with the opportunity to build skills that will make them more confident and help them thrive.
Our workshops help scholars find their purpose, embrace who they are, and equip them with essential skills they can use to create healthy relationships, improve their academic performance, and build a bright future for themselves.
Enrichment Workshops are offered monthly and each workshop focuses on a specific topic within one of our core objectives: self-confidence, business and leadership, academic success, public presentation and etiquette, diversity and community, or financial management.
Our Leader in Training (LIT) program provides a space for girls to begin developing leadership skills. Our LIT team is made up of girls who have been involved in our other programs and have begun to develop the social and emotional skills to be a confident leader.
Our LIT team provides a place for innovative thinkers, team players, strong communicators, and optimists to build on the skills of self awareness, social awareness, self management, responsible decision making, and creating positive relationships. We create opportunities for our leaders to give and receive feedback, reflect, and build the capacity for making changes and adjustments.
Special events provide opportunities for our participants and other youth in the community to celebrate and love themselves, have fun, and continue learning and growing.
Our annual events include the Sneaker Ball and HBCU tour.
