Helping Inner-City Pregnant and Parenting Female Youth Cope with Trauma and Build Resilience
Just For You Girlfriend, a nonprofit 501c3 organization, was founded in 2017 to help inner-city pregnant and parenting female youth cope with trauma and build resilience, in spite of their neighborhood violence, personal violence, teen pregnancy stigma, and other adversities, so they have the ability to succeed and pursue post-secondary education/training to end the cycle of intergenerational poverty.
Our programs provide support with workshops, seminars and individual sessions with mental health and human services professionals that help participants focus on their mental health, emotional intelligence, communication, money, conflict resolution, leadership and self-advocacy skills. We also emphasize the consequences of criminal behavior that can block future aspirations for post-secondary education.
Just For You Girlfriend is served by a dedicated group of female mental health and human services professionals and volunteers, some of whom were teen moms. These women have cultural humility and act as advocates, workshop, seminar and discussion leaders. They are committed to helping participants cope with trauma, build resiliency and avoid deviant and criminal behavior.
Your contributions help us provide the professional help our inner-city pregnant and parenting female youth need to cope with trauma, build resilience, overcome adversity and avoid criminal behavior as they raise the next generation.
