All-day event will provide specialized tracks for teens, tweens and caregivers
covering health, personal safety, healthy relationships and more
WHAT: Growing up can be tough, especially on girls, and there’s only one way to make the journey easier – preparation. We believe if you arm girls with the knowledge they need to navigate the changes and challenges that lie ahead, they’ll emerge as stronger, healthier and more confident young women.
Girls Elevated is a fun, interactive, day-long session for girls
ages 10-18 and their parents or caregivers, hosted by experts at Texas Children’s and Baylor’s department of obstetrics and gynecology. The event is designed to make the journey through adolescence easier for daughters and caregivers. All girls and their mothers, fathers and other caregivers are invited to attend separate, age-appropriate sessions to hear from a team of experts on the subjects girls want and need to know about, from healthy relationships to the real image of beauty and more! Meanwhile, caregivers will hear expert advice to help strengthen their bond with their teen– from setting boundaries to talking to adolescents about difficult subjects. There’s never been a safer, more encouraging environment for girls to ask questions – or a trusted team of experts better equipped to answer them.
