PEER GROUP PRESSURE AND DECISION MAKING – UNSTOPPABLE (FEMALE 11-14)
This module is designed to assist girls at a time of life when there is often a drop in confidence and pressure to fit in with peers who may not always be a good influence. This module aims to provide participants up to the age of 15 years, with a tool kit to help them resist this pressure and to respond confidently.
Research shows that if young people have rehearsed their responses, they are far more likely to make a positive decision under pressure when the time comes. Parents are invited and encouraged to attend this session.
“Fantastic!! Really loved the message you are sending through this workshop! Empowering these young women and challenging the way they think about themselves and one another is invaluable. I hope this message stays with them for years to come. Was an absolute pleasure!”
