How is your teen doing mentally??

This Saturday we invite your teen to join us for our next Safe Circle.

This is a safe space for teens to have an environment to talk about the things they are dealing with. From peer pressure, bullying, the pressures of big transitions, to so many other things that sometimes we just don’t see.

Our goal is to ALWAYS cultivate Mentally Healthy Teens 💖💖💖

Drop a 🫶🏾 if your daughter will be joining us!

We are proud to announce our next event The Safe Circle in partnership with Girls Inc. of Jacksonville

"The Safe Circle" is a transformative event crafted for teen girls ages 11-16 to openly discuss their mental health in a supportive, understanding environment. Our mission is to create a safe, judgment-free space where teens can share their personal experiences, explore coping strategies, and build resilience as they navigate the many challenges of life.

This event invites teens to speak openly about their current mental health battles and the ongoing challenges they may encounter, from academic pressures and social dynamics to family relationships. Through guided discussions, interactive activities, and self-reflective exercises, participants will leave equipped with tools to support their mental health journey with confidence and a newfound sense of community.

We understand that discussing mental health can feel daunting, but providing a space like "The Safe Circle" can be a truly empowering experience for your teen. By encouraging your daughter to join this event, you’re giving her the opportunity to express herself openly, connect with peers facing similar challenges, and learn effective strategies for managing her mental well-being.

If you are interested in your teen joining us for The Safe Circle please RSVP below: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-safe-circle-tickets-1073249039769?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=cp&aff=ebdsshcopyurl

Yesterday we wrapped up another AMAZING school year at Fort Caroline Middle School. The GWAP girls rocked another year, we learned our love languages so we can set healthy boundaries and learn how we need to be loved.

We had some hard conversations, navigated conflicts, ate REAL Good.

But most of instilled in our girls that THEY ARE Girls with Wisdom, Authority & Power.

We are growing and expanding and can’t wait to share all the amazing things that God is doing for this purposeful organization!
