Speak Up and Speak Out – Girl to Girl
- Do you feel self conscious around your peers?
- Are you embarrassed to speak, eat, or even write in front of others?
- Is it difficult to get up and go to school every morning, or attend social activities?
- Do you engage in extreme, unrealistic worry about your academic performance or sporting activities at school?
If so... you may be experiencing anxiety, something millions of young girls experience every year.
- Are you suffering from an intense fear of weight gain?
- Are you overly concerned with your body image?
If so... it's time to discover your real beauty and your authentic self.

Some of the benefits of the program include:

Our Invitation
We invite you to come Speak Up & Speak Out about issues important to you; issues that many other girls just like you are experiencing too. We invite you to discover how to overcome these issues in a supportive and understanding environment.
In the program we use the most current cognitive techniques and encourage every girl to keep it real, be yourself, and Speak Up & Speak Out about what you are
experiencing in your world.
Speak Up & Speak Out offers every participant a chance to express her thoughts and concerns. Meanwhile we guide and encourage relating to one another while each girl discovers she is not alone in this journey called life.
