Girls Inc. of Upper Canada is excited to be bringing their Informed Together program to Prescott this winter, starting Tuesday, January 14, and running through the end of March! This 10-week program will take place at St. Paul’s United Church in Prescott on Tuesday evenings from 6-7:30pm.
The program focuses on building healthy relationships with our peers and the trusted adults in our lives, consent and boundaries, as well as communicating with kindness and empathy. It is designed to jump-start and deepen parent-child conversations about girls’ relationships with their bodies and others, while exploring understanding, love, and communication in all types of relationships. Girls will discuss identity as a broad concept, as well as learning about the biology of the body, including anatomy, puberty, and menstruation.
The program is open to girls, aged 8-12, and parents/guardians can use the Girls Inc. Registration Portal to register their child(ren), or reach out to the office at admin@girlsinc-uppercanada.org or 613-345-3295 for further assistance.
The fee for the program is $50, and Girls Inc. is very happy to provide full or partial subsidies to any families who could benefit. Please reach out to their team at admin@girlsinc-uppercanada.org after completing registration to request a subsidy.
