Girl Talk: Communicate and Earn Respect
Based on SafePlace’s “Expect Respect” school program, this presentation will address the promotion of safe and healthy relationships for all girls. A strong girl speaks her mind in a relationship, refuses to do things that make her uncomfortable, and expects people to treat her with respect - even when others might be angry or disappointed. The program’s focus will be on helping girls communicate their feelings, increasing girls’ sense of personal safety and building healthy coping skills. A SafePlace represenative will facilitate this discussion.
