Navigating today’s complex world can be tough, especially for girls and teenagers. Mental wellness is a critically important issue and Girl Scouts is making it a little easier for girls to become resilient, ready, and strong.
Developed in partnership with the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), Girl Scouts of the USA, and HCA Healthcare behavioral health experts, Girl Scouts of Southeast Florida is launching new programs that give girls and their families the essential tools to support emotional intelligence, mental health, and wellness, and to proactively practice self-care.
Designed for Girl Scouts in 4th to 12th grades, our new mental wellness patches help girls learn about self-care, build healthy habits, safely explore their feelings, and to seek support and resources in a safe and intimate setting. From learning about their emotions to advocating for themselves, and learning to cope with difficult situations, Girl Scouts will gain the confidence to show their strength. Along the way, they learn what mental health is, how to combat stigma, and how to take care of their own mental wellness as they navigate today's complex and challenging world.
Girl Scouts of Southeast Florida is debuting the new mental wellness curriculum at Power of You on October 21, 2023, at HCA Florida JFK North Hospital in West Palm Beach. At this event, girls will have the opportunity to build their mental wellness toolkit by completing age-appropriate activities and learning about mental wellness resources. Participants will also visit and learn about therapy ponies, make an activity-themed craft, and create a group project.
