Pittsburgh PA 15219
Join us to learn the newest insights and practical intervention strategies from Dr. Lisa Hinkelman as she presents original research from The Girls’ Index, the country’s largest, first-of-its-kind national survey designed to develop a deeper understanding of the thoughts, experiences, perceptions, beliefs, behaviors and attitudes of teen girls throughout the United States.
While a plethora of research exists on the economic status, health trends, safety and crime victimization, drug use and risk-behavior of teens, there is little data that delves deeper into the lived experiences of girls and provides the opportunity for girls to share their thoughts and opinions related to a variety of relevant issues currently impacting their lives.
From confidence, body image, sexting and social media to school, academics, career planning and leadership, this presentation provides insight for adults to recognize and address the challenges impacting girls.
This will be a brown-bag session, so feel to bring a lunch. Dessert and beverages will be provided.
