Details

Operation H.E.R: Strong Minds, Strong Girls Mental Health Summit; created by Girl Scouts and presented by LewisGale Regional Health System HCA Virginia. This is an opportunity for girls and adults to come together to learn more about mental health wellness from experts in the field while being in a fun, supportive, and uplifting environment where attendees can share their experiences, learn coping strategies, and build resilience. This summit is FREE and open to both Girl Scouts and non-Girl Scouts in 4^th-12^th grades as well as adults who have kids or work with kids in this age-range.

All attendees will receive a swag bag with a passport including resources for future use, fidgets for support, eye mask, and many other great goodies! In addition, we will have snacks throughout the day, a mental health pause with a wellness lounge, silent disco, friendship bracelets, therapy dogs, and yoga! Finally, each person who attends the summit will receive a t-shirt.

The mental health summit has sessions for both girls and adults. Girls will participate in activities such as making art or writing poetry, that foster resilience and help them better understand themselves as well as the world around them. Adult workshops provide valuable insights and tools to better support the mental well-being of the girls in their care.

A big thank you to all our community partners who are supporting and sponsoring this summit: HCA LewisGale, National Bank, Davenport & Co., and the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services.
