The video below is from the most recent Operation H.E.R. Mental Health Summit.
Girl Scouts of Virginia Skyline is THRILLED to announce our second year of Operation H.E.R.: Strong Minds. Strong Girls. Mental Health Summit .
This is an opportunity for girls and adults to come together to learn more about mental health, including how bullying can affect emotional well-being, from experts in the field while being in a fun, supportive, and uplifting environment.
This event is for ALL GIRLS. You don't need to be a Girl Scout to attend this event. Girls from Kindergarten to 12th grades are welcome! Girls will discover and work on the Girl Scout Mental Wellness Patch Programs. The Mental Wellness patch program was made possible by the HCA Healthcare Foundation and developed in collaboration with the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
All attendees will receive a swag bag with a passport including resources for future use, a t-shirt, and many other great goodies! In addition, we will have snacks throughout the day as well as a mental health pause with therapy dogs, yoga, and more!
And adults, we have sessions for YOU too! Please share this with other parents, teachers, coaches, and anyone who works with girls or just wants to learn more about mental health and how to support those around them!
