Confident Women
I am passionate about working with young women to help increase self-esteem and to learn to love their bodies. Here I will share videos and articles that inspire me in hopes of inspiring the girls of Franklin high.
This week I invited a Teen Lifeline speaker to come and talk to us about Suicide and Depression. She gave some wonderful information to our 7th and 8th grade girls about what it means to be depressed and how to help yourself or a friend when they are feeling depressed. She also talked about the warning signs of suicide and how to help a friend you are worried about. If you click on the links provided in this post, you will find more information about Teen Lifeline and how they are here to help our kids! Below are some facts taken from the Teen Lifeline website!

This week I invited a guest speaker from the New Life Center, a shelter that offers shelter, safety and services to families escaping violent relationships. Our girls learned about the warning signs of abuse and what to do if they are concerned for a friend or family member. We learned how many times communities and families just expect women to stay in these abusive relationships. It is my goal that our girls be able to realize these warning signs early on and have the power and confidence to run in the other direction! We will be working with the New Life Center again in April as we volunteer at their thrift store, Hope's Closet, and plan a fundraiser Fashion Show! |
