Hi,
Our training offers opportunities to train folks in ways to work with girls
from based on a strengths-based perspective and work towards the prevention
of domestic violence, eating disorders, substance abuse and other harmful
behaviors that come out of a toxic culture.
Would it be possible to send this out to the listserv?
Thank you
Jackie

Zones training
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
Tune into the latest 'reality' show, take a stroll down the aisles at a
girls' clothing store, or pick up the latest edition of a popular teen
magazine and you'll get a taste of what girls are up against every day.
>From "wink, wink" and "eye candy" slogans emblazoned across Abercrombie and
Fitch thongs to Bratz party planes complete with juice bars, the messages
girls are getting about their bodies, sexuality, and about each other are at
best harmful and degrading.
We know that girls aren't the problem and that programs designed to raise
girls' self-esteem, or in some way fix girls aren't sustainable solutions to
the cultural dilemmas girls face daily. Hardy Girls Healthy Women
<http://e2ma.net/go/2357480061/2141480/80042812/8944/b64/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5oZ2h
3Lm9yZw==> is designing programs and trainings that support girls as they
become critics of the culture and work together to create a better world for
each other.
As a friend and colleague, we want to invite you to attend Cultivating
Hardiness Zones: A Strength-Based Approach to Working with Girls and
Becoming a Muse: Practical Skills for Running Girls' Groups. Developed in
partnership with Dr. Lyn Mikel Brown, these two trainings are designed to
help you incorporate the latest research on girls' development into work
you're already doing. This isn't a training that stresses the inner girl or
works to improve "self-esteem" but a training that focuses on methods for
providing girls with an environment that's conducive to learning and growing
well despite cultural messages and stereotypes.
At the heart of creating hardiness zones is a way of being in relationship
with girls that inspires them, gives them a sense of their own power and
control, and challenges them to do their best work.
Join Lyn Mikel Brown, Ed.D and Hardy Girls Healthy Women on September 30th
and October 1st for two days of training. This training is designed for
teachers, guidance counselors, school administrators, health service and
social service providers, parents, and anyone else who wants to learn more
effective approaches to bringing out the best in girls! All adults working
with girls are encouraged to attend.
At this training you'll learn concrete strategies for:
* Helping girls connect with one another and reduce girlfighting;
* Showing girls how to find the support and resources they need to
thrive;
* Tapping into girls' energy and creativity to make the world one that
values them for who they are, not how they look; and,
* Creating a foundational understanding of facilitation, group process
and dynamics within the specific context of working with girls' coalition
groups.
Through multi-media presentations, small group activities, practice
sessions, and discussion, the training will answer the following questions:
* What is the cultural landscape in which girls are growing?
* What is hardiness and why are relational hardiness zones important?
* How do we cultivate and sustain hardiness zones with girls?
* What form can they take in our community/social context?
* What can they offer that girls in our community need?

hardiness zones for as many young girls as possible."
