Girls Action Foundation is launching 3 new backgrounders intended to support the work of facilitators of girls' empowerment groups, programmers and organizations working with girls and young women. These backgrounders were developed in collaboration with the British Columbia Centre of Excellence for Women's Health (BCCEWH), the Girls Action Foundation and the Canadian Association for the Advancement of Women and Sport and Physical Activity (CAAWS).
The backgrounders offer current information, resources, practical tools, web-based materials and sample group activities on:
Girls, Alcohol and Depression
Girls, Smoking and Stress
Girls, Physical Activity and Culture
Join in to learn more about these resources and related tools that are grounded in a study of Girls' Perspectives on Girls' Groups and Healthy Living (2011) which explored promising practices in girl-centred health promotion.
