Across America people’s lives have been completely upended — the majority of them living in places with some form of restricted movement or lockdown.
Depression and Anxiety are major issues impacting girls under ‘normal’ circumstances. Dealing with a national shutdown and fears over a new Pandemic has surely only exacerbated the situation.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month and American Heritage Girls is doing their part to help girls and young women cope with emotional issues stemming from the pandemic.
American Heritage Girls is a scouting group that helps girls combat mental health challenges by striving to instill confidence, learning, and achieving, and growing in faith. Through badge work, service, and faith-centered programming, the American Heritage Girls program seeks to teach girls that they don’t have to be perfect by the world’s standards. Still, they can discover Biblical truths to assure them of their worth and God-given identity. Joining us is Patti Garibay, founder of American Heritage Girls.
