Last Chance to Register for Uniquely Me! Summer "Challenge" Program for Moms & Daughters!

Uniquely Me! Summer “Challenge” Program Kicks Off!



This month, the Women’s Resource Center of Sarasota County and the Healthy Girls Initiative of Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast Florida, Inc. team up for the first time to offer a free ten week holistic health program for mothers and daughters.



The Uniquely Me!: Summer “Challenge” Program for Moms and Daughters is designed to build a positive, long-lasting relationship between mothers and daughters while educating both on living a healthy lifestyle. The program will be held at the Women’s Resource Center in Venice, located on the campus of the Venice Branch of the South County Family YMCA at 701 Center Road, Venice, FL 34285. The first session of the program will be Wednesday, May 20th from 6pm to 8pm. The last session is on Wednesday, July 22nd.



This special program fuses together the curriculum used in the Uniquely Me! Program for Girls offered by the Healthy Girls Initiative and the Challenge Program offered by the Women’s Resource Center. The program facilitators will be Elaine Taylor of the Women’s Resource Center and Julia Onnie-Hay of the Healthy Girls Initiative. Topics include stress management, communication, and advocacy. Each session includes a delicious, healthy snack and nutrition lesson as well as a meditation and stretch break.

To register, contact Healthy Girls Initiative Program Specialist Julia Onnie-Hay at juliao@gsgcf.org or (941) 302-0004 for a registration form or simply pick one up from the Women’s Resource Center Venice Office located in the old building at the Venice YMCA.
