Mean Girls - Helping Girls Cope With Bullying and Friendship

It can be hard to know how to best guide our girls through the challenges they face with friendships and bullying, which is a concern for many parents. In this workshop Jenny draws on her experience as a counsellor working with young people and more recently as a family coach. Together with Andrea they will give parents ideas and inspiration that will help them deal with different situations.
