SHOP: Ladies First

Health Education Council's Safety, Health, Opportunities, Practice (SHOP) is a youth-centered program for adolescents who have experienced or are currently experiencing school challenges, community violence, interpersonal violence, and/or system involvement. The Ladies First support group aims to provide a safe space to introduce and discuss topics that focus on intrapersonal growth and individual well-being for young girls between 13-20 years old. After program completion, participants have the opportunity to enroll in case management. Our case management offers mentoring, workforce development, and community resource navigation.

Our 8-week program topics include combating peer pressure, relationship wellness, positive self-image/body positivity, coping with anxiety/mental health, personal finance, building resilience, and SMART goal setting.
