H.E.R. Summit - Healing * Empower * Resilience

Join Us for a Day of Wellness and Resiliency! Hosted by The Governor's Prevention Partnership and MENTOR as part of the Black and Brown Girls National Movement, this summit aims to ignite the fire within every girl to be her best. Through a dynamic and transformative day filled with fun and engaging workshops, discussions, and social connection, the Summit will empower BIPOC girls between 12-17 years of age and their adult mentors with the skills and resources they need to achieve overall wellness. Sessions include educational workshops and small discussions on topics like self-advocacy, H.E.R. voice, and healthy relationships, as well as self-care activities like yoga, sound healing, and much more!
