List of Sessions
The overall goal for the North Star Girls Group is to provide a safe and supportive
environment in which group members gain support from both their peers and group facilitators
in promoting feelings of empowerment and self-confidence, as well as learning healthy ways
to cope with the stresses and pressures of entering adolescence. Group sessions will address
many issues specifically related to girls in early adolescence. Sessions are designed to
build on each other while creating a sense of safety and comfort in the group, and developing
a sense of empowerment and confidence in the girls’ own abilities.
