Some kind words from a few of the girls who completed Teen Girls: Wisdom Within course 2018 and 2019!

Before the course began, I was unsure what to expect (thinking it was counselling), but there wasn't one thing I didn't enjoy as it was all relevant and useful. I learnt to tap into my heart for answers, and not just my head, and it was a great way to talk about handling feelings with a professional. (Paris, 15)

I found the course really insightful. I enjoyed the strategies to decision making, the friend talk, the release exercises and the deep chats! I would do it again (K, 15)

I really enjoyed meeting new people and taking the time to relax and appreciate ourselves and others. I had heaps of fun and really enjoyed the activities. The biggest take-away for me was the lesson on head vs heart. What I’ll do differently is breathe in stressful situations and listen to my instincts. (Mia, 16)

I felt nervous before the course started, but I’m so grateful I did it. I learnt that it’s ok not to feel ok and that you’re not the only one going through hard times. What I enjoyed the most was learning to accept yourself, the release exercises, meditations and trusting your intuition. (Ruby, 16)

I really enjoyed meeting new people, and learnt to let my head and heart talk more in whatever situation I am in. (Lucy, 13)

I didn’t really know what to expect but I’m happy that I came because I feel more aware about things that I didn’t think about before I came. I enjoyed learning more about myself and self-care and valuing people. (Natalya, 13)
