Girls Rising Strong

Healthy Relationships, Identity, Voice, and Safety

Ages 10–14 | Middle School Youth Prevention Education

Specially created by EAP, this is an eight-session prevention education program designed to help girls develop self-awareness, self-worth, confidence, and the practical skills needed to make healthy choices and build positive relationships.

Through guided discussions, reflection, and interactive activities, participants will strengthen their emotional intelligence, communication skills, self-respect, and ability to establish healthy boundaries. They will also learn to trust their instincts, recognize healthy and unhealthy relationship dynamics, advocate for themselves, and seek support when needed.

Salma is passionate about working with youth and helping young people recognize their potential and build hopeful futures. With over five years of experience working with youth in a variety of capacities, she is committed to creating supportive spaces where young people feel heard, encouraged, and empowered.

My time working with middle school girls at RCM has been especially impactful—it helped me learn how to engage young minds, uplift their confidence, and encourage them to become the best version of themselves. I carry these experiences with me into every opportunity, and they continue to shape my commitment to both education and healthcare.
