BULLY AWARENESS
Our activity-based approach moves the conversation beyond bullying to a more prosocial focus on the development of interpersonal skills, while building bridges through mutual respects, cultural connections, and welcoming differences. This active learning experience will promote caring and inclusive environments, while raising awareness around positive and supporting relationships through productive associations, mutual respects, and embracing diversity.
MENTAL HEALTH & WELLNESS
Our unique approach engages students in evidence-based activities designed to respectfully raise awareness about Mental Health, while creatively reducing the stigma in the process. Students actively participate in a careful selection of activities, while enhancing knowledge and understanding around the topic, and developing life skills to assist them in appreciating and becoming more comfortable in recognizing and dealing with the realities.
DRUG & ALCOHOL AWARENESS
With the recent legalization of recreational cannabis, now, more than ever before, it is essential that we take every opportunity to protect children and youth by raising awareness about substance use, addictions and related behaviours, while promoting healthy decision making. Our innovative approach is carefully designed to raise awareness about the pitfalls and unfortunate realities of drug & alcohol use and abuse. Through a creative series of activities and challenges, students will be actively engaged, while enhancing knowledge and understanding on the topic, and developing life skills in the process of their healthy participation.
WELLNESS
Wellness is a commonly used term, but what does it really mean? Although it is generally understood that no single authority can accept sole responsibility for changing student’s social and health related behaviors, We know that knowledge is important for informing decisions and shaping values and attitudes. We strongly believe that the nature of this information, and the mode and timing of its presentation have a significant impact on how it is received. Our focus on the whole person engages participants in a series of interactive challenges that encourage a healthy balance through mind, body, and spirit.
LIKE A GIRL

By raising awareness and empowering girls through a unique series interactive and engaging workshops specially designed ‘by girls for girls’, we are committed to helping youth realize their gifts and potential, while equipping them with the life skills to be mindful and resilient through the process of their healthy development and life long successes.
