As girls grow and develop, their self-perceptions and self-images change as well. Self-esteem is frequently described as a person’s overall sense of self worth and personal value. Positive self-esteem is a fundamental human need and critical to survival and healthy development. This informative workshop will encourage participants to cultivate a strong sense of identity while addressing how the sexual exploitation of women in the media, body image, and mental health challenges impact their overall self-esteem and development through out their life span.
