Want to know what’s really going on with girls? Get the scoop from teen expert and author Courtney Macavinta. Having listened to thousands of young women about their lives and struggles, Courtney has been described by many girls as “the big sister I never had.” Throughout her work, Courtney upholds a high ambition for girls and women: that they realize their potential by building self-respect, sisterhood and social change in their lives. Or as she likes to say: When your life is booming with respect, you can change your world. And respect always within reach because true respect starts on the inside.
Courtney follows teen trends, studies, resources, and frequently interviews young women, to provide parents, teachers and girl advocates with valuable tools and insight including:
- Advice on the hot topics young women are dealing with when it comes to self-esteem, body image, decision-making, relationships, sex, family, friends, media, school, as well as tough issues like peer pressure, eating disorders, self-harm, rumors, bullying, drugs, alcohol or abuse.
- Fun and enriching self-respect building activities to help girls discover what they really want, think and need.
- Communication techniques and scripts adults can use with teens to establish mutual respect in their homes, schools or organizations.
