Especially Me!

Especially Me! is an interactive curriculum for girls between the ages of 9 and 12 designed to help them learn more about self-esteem, health, nutrition and exercise, puberty, good decision making, goal setting, and assertiveness.

"I think this class is great. I have very low self esteem. I've always thought I was ugly. I always thought I was fat and never 'perfect.' It was never easy especially when my mom and dad said I had bad skin and I was ugly. That always brought me down. I can start rebuilding my self esteem again." Maria, 2009 Especially Me! Participant

If you are interested in having JLLB hold an Especially Me! workshop at your school or are interested in contacting other host schools for references, please contact us at community@jllb.org.
