What People Are Saying...

“The video has great models for girls who have found the strength to accept themselves and act in their best interest, sometimes in the face of very negative messages about who they should be and how they should act.”
Bernice T. Humphrey, National Program Department, Girls Incorporated

"The thoughtful real life stories told in the videos...will help teens think about and make wise choices and help adults better understand how to reach out to support young people."
Catherine Steiner-Adair, Ed.D., Harvard Medical School

What people are saying:

“The vignettes in The Power of Girls: Inside and Out are true to life and the messages are positive. Vital issues of concern to teenagers are presented in a dramatic, compelling format. Matters addressed include peer conflicts, the need for peer acceptance and approval, sexuality, substance abuse, eating disorders, coping with catastrophic illness and bereavement and family relationships. The videos are valuable for both single gender and mixed counseling groups as well as health education and psychology classes.” Inge S. Ortmeyer, LCSW

“These tapes are positive springboards for further discussion on their various segments – bereavement, sexual choices, eating disorders, violence etc. They seem to strongly support the notion of the importance of support groups for all of these teenage concerns. Also, the importance of family and peer group is stressed.” Don Fields, Social Worker
