Resilience and Leadership: Raising Girls to Combat Gender Stereotypes

WITH CRYSTYN WRIGHT AND SIMONE MAREAN


Join HRP Mamas as we welcome back Crystyn Wright and Simone Marean from Girls Leadership for a live, interactive, virtual workshop.

What if this unprecedented time could be used as an opportunity for our girls to build skills for resilience over a lifetime?


Girls often feel an expectation to be happy, content, and confident, but over the past year, they've told us they’re actually feeling anxiety, disappointment, and loneliness.

In this 75-minute workshop, we will look at the gender expectations of girls and how living through a pandemic makes them more problematic than ever. We'll outline the hurdles, expectations, and points of contention girls face in today's world and provide tools for how to overcome conflicts. Then, we’ll invite families to reflect on how we might take advantage of this moment to model new habits rooted in wellness, resilience, and voice.
