Group Coaching for
Girls
"For those parents who have preteen
and teenage daughters, this program is a
life-saver." --Sheree D,
Rockland, MA, daughter, age 13
The Sassy Sisterhood Girls’
Circle is a model of structured support groups for girls
from 9-18 years. It is designed to foster self-awareness, help
girls maintain authentic connection with peers and adult women
in their community, counter trends toward self-doubt, and allow
for genuine self-expression through verbal sharing and creative
activity.
For 5 days during a
summer/vacation or weekly for 8-12 weeks, a
group of girls of similar age and
development meet with a facilitator. During
this time, the girls take turns talking and
listening to one another respectfully about
their concerns and interests. The girls
express themselves further through creative
or focused activities such as role playing,
drama, journaling, poetry, drama, dance,
drawing, collage, clay, and so on.
Often themes and
topics are introduced which relate to the
girls’ lives, such as being a girl,
trusting ourselves, friendships, body
image, goals, sexuality, drugs, alcohol,
tobacco, competition, and
decision-making. Special guests,
teachers, professional speakers and experts
are brought in for special activities such
as dance, self defense, and other
discussions.
Private phone
coaching for teen girls is also
available.
