About This Product
Go Grrrls is a program designed to promote healthy psychosocial development in female adolescents. Building a foundation of information and skills that related to middle school females is a core feature of the program. The program is not just a pregnancy prevention program but a program about empowering adolescent females with pregnancy prevention as one core part. All of the units in the program work together to create the context and motivation for taking actions that can prevent teen pregnancy. The program has been delivered to girls in grades six through nine and is expected to occur as a series of 8 units held outside of traditional school hours. The 8-unit curriculum covers six topics related to female adolescent development: being a girl in today's society (gender role identity), establishing a positive self-image, establishing independence, making and keeping friends, when it all seems like too much (learning to obtain help and find access to resources), and planning for the future.
Sessions are expected to last 90-120 minutes and occur once per week. They are made up of groups of 6-11 female adolescents, led by two group facilitators with appropriate interest, background knowledge (e.g., social work or psychology), and past experience working with young people. The sessions include didactic instruction, class discussion, group exercises, completion of worksheets, role-playing, and weekly journal assignments. The Go Grrrls program materials include a Go Grrrls curriculum guide for group leaders and a Go Grrrls workbook for use by group attendees. In addition, the program developers offer one-day trainings for group leaders on topics such as an introduction to Go Grrrls and female adolescent development, being a group leader, and advanced topics related to leading a Go Grrrls group.
