for Middle School Girls are OPEN!

Grow + Thrive Helps Your Middle School Girl Build Confidence, Community, and Meaningful Friendships

Is your daughter feeling left out or struggling to connect with peers?

Does she say that no one likes her or she doesn’t have any friends? 

Do you wish she saw herself as the amazing, brilliant, creative girl you know and love? 

Grow + Thrive Girls Group is a supportive 4-week virtual program designed to help middle school girls (ages 11–14) hone their social skills, increase self-confidence, and form lasting friendships in a safe and nurturing environment.

What Is the Grow + Thrive Girls Group?

Grow + Thrive provides a structured yet flexible space where girls can:

  • Communicate with confidence while learning to take chances

  • Build social skills they can use with friends, family, and teachers

  • Speak up for themselves and solve problems with others

  • Build connections with peers in a supportive group setting

Led by Dr. Diane Hudson, each session focuses on fostering a sense of belonging and encouraging personal growth.

Empowering Social Groups for Neurodivergent Girls

  • Weekly Sessions

    “Be curious, have courage, be you” forms the foundation of each weekly session. Whether the group is focused on communication skills, practicing “going with the flow” and being more psychologically flexible, or forming strong friendships, your daughter will look forward to what’s next.

  • Real-Life Social Skills

    From making new friends to navigating tricky peer situations, activities are rooted in real-life scenarios to help her practice and build confidence in a safe space.

  • Age-Appropriate Connection

    Designed specifically for middle school girls (ages 11–14), the group meets them right where they are—socially, emotionally, and developmentally.

  • Simple and Accessible

    No fancy tools required! Everything is virtual and supported by easy-to-use materials you likely already have at home—plus helpful guides for parents.
