STRONG Teen Girls – High School – Wednesday Term 2 2023
Building confidence, self esteem and resilience in our kids
STRONG Tweens and Teens is a supportive, fun, interactive and uplifting program designed to help girls feel resilient and empowered. This term based program includes 1 hour and 15 minute session each week. Each session includes all three Standing Strong components of;
Strong Body – Movement Strong Mind – Mindset Strong Heart – Mindfulness
STRONG Teens is a proactive and preventative wellness program while also assisting girls through any challenges they may be facing.
Each weekly session offers a specific topic designed to encourage and inspire girls. We focus on 25 minutes of movement, 25 minutes of mindset and 25 minutes of mindfulness.
Strong Body portion of the programs is either beach walks which helps move the body as well as clear the mind and build connection or based on yoga therapy so each move we make is improving their wellbeing.
Strong Mind is mindset based and we focus on a different topic each week. The discussion is lead with a number of questions which allows everyone has the opportunity to share their ideas and experiences. The way the girls support each other and give each other different ideas or ways to think is where the real connections are made which is so important for this age group
Strong Heart is the girls favorite part of the program as they are learning to make time for themselves and how important self care is. We do all different types of activities including art, journaling or letter writing, meditation or DIY/Craft activities.

This is such a great program and Mel who runs it is beautiful. My daughter is in yr 8 and has really loved it this year – very down to earth and a lovely group of girls
Mrs P
I feel more confident and have more faith and trust in myself
Lara
My daughter (yr 8) absolutely loves this program. I think because there is so much positivity in it, chatting about stuff they relate to in their journey of teen life. Lots of variety – yoga, walks on the beach, craft, exchanging thoughts and ideas. The groups are small (max. 10 girls), and every one seems interested in making new friends and sharing ideas. Mel’s put together am amazing program, and it’s positive mindset certainly works. Very highly recommended.

Each teen that comes to or programs are unique individuals and accepted exactly as they are
Acceptance, respect, support and encouragement is modeled from day one. The activities we do are specifically designed to build trust within the group which in turn, allows the girls to share more with each other. By sharing stories and experiences they will realise they are not alone and they have a wonderful group behind them building their courage, confidence and self esteem which will then spill into other areas of their life
This program is not a replacement for a psychologist, it is essentially a group of girls having a chat and learning about themselves and others at the same time
