Growing up today comes with unique pressures—from social media and friendship struggles to body image concerns and navigating puberty. This group provides a safe, welcoming environment where girls can ask questions, build confidence, and develop practical skills for everyday life. This group is led by Taylor Selke MSN, RN, PMHNP-BC.
Topics may include:
-
Confidence and self-esteem
-
Healthy friendships and relationship skills
-
Bullying and conflict resolution
-
Social media awareness and digital wellness
-
Body image and self-acceptance
-
Nutrition and healthy habits
-
Period health and puberty education
-
Stress management and coping strategies
-
Communication and self-advocacy
Each session will incorporate hands-on crafts, creative projects, interactive activities, and discussion-based learning to make important topics engaging, approachable, and fun. Activities are designed to encourage self-reflection, connection, confidence-building, and skill development while creating opportunities for meaningful peer interaction.
To enrich the experience, Harborside Health & Wellness will partner with local community professionals and subject-matter experts who will help facilitate discussions and provide education on relevant topics. Guest speakers may include professionals in nutrition, fitness, women's health, education, and other areas that support adolescent wellness and development.
The group combines education, peer support, creativity, and community collaboration to help participants feel more confident, connected, and empowered.
Our goal is to create a supportive community where girls can build confidence, develop healthy habits, strengthen relationships, and discover that they are not alone in the challenges of growing up.
Dates: July 15, July 22, July 29, August 5, August 12, and August 19, 2026
To promote trust, connection, and meaningful group participation, we ask that participants register for the entire 6-week session rather than individual meetings. Consistent attendance helps create a comfortable environment where friendships can develop, confidence can grow, and participants can build upon skills learned from week to week.
Time: 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM, bring your own lunch
Cost: $50 per session
