Resilience training helps teens cope with life challenges and obstacles in a healthy manner. Learning how to tap into strengths and support systems guides teens to make positive choices. 

Girl-2-Girl (G2G) is an after-school program for girls in grades 6-12 designed to encourage development of strength, confidence, honesty, and service by creating a close-knit community where girls can discover and celebrate their true selves.

Stoughton Health and the Stoughton Library teamed up to support G2G through a book donation. With resilience as the topic of the month of May, they chose, “The Resilient Teen: 10 key skills to bounce back from setbacks & turn stress into success,” by Sheela Raja. Stoughton Health also donated a copy for the library’s collection. 

Past G2G mentor, Tracy Markle, shared that benefits of programs like this one go well beyond the time the teen is in the program. Healthy relationships, strong character, and advocacy follows them into their college years and beyond.
