Girls Elevated empowers teens to new heights, register today

April 18, 2017

On Saturday, April 29, Texas Children’s and Baylor College of Medicine’s Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology will host Girls Elevated from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the United Way Community Resource Center, 50 Waugh Drive, Houston, Texas.

Girls Elevated is a fun, interactive day-long session for young girls and their parents. Building on feedback from last year’s sold-out event, the event is designed to help create stronger, more confident young women.

Texas Children’s and Baylor’s team of experts will arm preteen and teenage girls ages 10 to 18 with the knowledge they need to navigate the changes and challenges that lie ahead. Sessions will cover important topics such as healthy relationships, body image and sexual pressures. Adults will receive expert advice on bonding with their teen, setting boundaries and talking about difficult subjects.

Keynote speaker Trisha Harris, who has held multiple leadership roles in the Department of Pediatric Surgery at Texas Children’s, will share her experiences and advice on how girls and young women can achieve their goals and dreams.
