Workshops-Available for schools, community groups, and places of worship. A modest honorarium helps defray our costs and allows us to continue to reach out to groups on these important topics.
Make the Case--Peering into the World of Covert Aggression (90 minutes): Created by the Ophelia Project, the national organization addressing relational aggression and presented by Girl Scouts of Nassau County. This workshop will raise your awareness about social bullying, a hidden behavior that often flies under the radar of adults. Designed to be interactive, this workshop will increase your understanding of RA and the harm it does to individuals, schools and communities. Appropriate for middle and high school students and adults. Available in Nassau County only.
The Sugar That Bites: (60 minutes) Friendship is the relationship that adds sweetness to life. Indeed, it is the currency of the school yard, often predicting social status and success. Friendships help children transition from childhood to adulthood but when used as a weapon, friendships can bring terror not only to a target, but the bystander as well. This workshop looks at the behaviors children commonly use to terrorize their peers in order to establish social status. Includes cyberbullying . (Suitable for students in grade 4 and above, including adults)
Mothers and Others: Courage and Confidence in the Face of Social Bullying: (60 minutes) Designed for parents and other caring adults seeking tools and simple tactics to help a child survive the social warfare of relational aggression. It is recommended as a follow up to Make the Case or The Sugar That Bites.
Teens Before Their Time: (20-40 minutes) Based upon a study by the Girl Scout Research Institute examining the physical, cognitive and emotional development of girls ages 8-12. Girls are developing physically and cognitively at a much faster rate then generations before them, but their emotional development still lags behind. Girls can be pressured into situations and behaviors they are nowhere near ready to address. Whether it is the unwanted attentions of an older boy or pressures from girlfriends to look and act a certain way, girls feel they have no choice but to take on the attitudes and behaviors of teens before their time.
