Power Up Training Boosts Mental Resilience for Girls
On Thursday evening, May 21, the Power Up training will begin in Giessenburg. Specifically designed for girls aged 13 to 17, the Social Team Molenlanden is offering a program to help them become more mentally resilient. The training consists of six sessions for the girls and two sessions for parents. All girls from Molenlanden are welcome to participate, and registration is free.
Building Resilience During Uncertain Times
During the training, the girls will work in groups using ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) combined with boxing training. This combination reinforces talking, creativity, and physical activity. They will learn to cope with difficult situations, take better care of themselves, and become more aware of their feelings and thoughts.
Parents also have a program. In two sessions, they will receive explanations about what their daughters are learning and how they can stay connected with their child. Thus, Power Up offers support, recognition, and practical tools for both girls and parents during a time when social pressure, performance expectations, and uncertainty play a major role.
