Most people who end up leading a group of teenage girls know exactly why it matters and have no idea what to do once everyone sits down. This guide is what to do. Girl Empowered! Group Leader's Guide is a complete, ready-to-run program built on Girl Empowered!, the two-in-one guide and workbook for teen girls. Each of the ten sessions corresponds to one chapter of that book, and every session includes a timed plan, discussion prompts sorted into three levels of personal disclosure, guidance for the moments a group goes sideways, signs that a participant may need support beyond the group, adaptations for shorter and longer meetings and for one-to-one mentoring, and a reproducible handout. The program runs four ways: as ten sessions, as a six-week condensed version with a meeting-by-meeting plan, as a single workshop of ninety minutes or half a day, or one-to-one. A chapter on setting covers schools, youth ministry, agencies and residential programs, and informal community groups, including what to tell parents and where the confidentiality line sits in each. Also included are a first-meeting plan for establishing group agreements, a closing session, clear scope and referral guidance, a verified crisis resource list, and a reproducible letter to parents and guardians. Written for youth leaders, small-group mentors, teachers, school and agency counselors, ministry volunteers, and residential program staff.
It is a structured conversation guide, not therapy, and it says so plainly. No clinical background is required.
