New Directions: A Healing Group for Young Women

Most adolescent girls face challenges, but research has demonstrated that a history of trauma, including sexual abuse, is related to emotional problems as well as a wide array of risky behaviors. New Directions: A Healing Group for Young Women is specifically designed to allow girls to deal with these difficult issues in a safe, supportive environment.

New Directions: A Healing Group for Young Women is an open ended, on-going therapeutic program designed to help girls expand on the strengths they already have, learn from each other and from the curriculum, and develop new skills for dealing with a sometimes difficult world. The following is a list of major areas that will be addressed:

• What it means to be female
