This spring, 45 students at Peet Junior High took part in the Circle Program through Girl Talk; a safe, supportive space where girls can explore topics like friendships, self-esteem, mental health, and decision-making. Through guided conversations and activities, participants reflected on identity, celebrated diversity, and built empathy and confidence in themselves and others.

Circle is made possible through a partnership with Peet’s Counseling Department and Together for Youth, part of the Success Street network supporting student wellbeing across Cedar Falls Schools.

alert‼️ 🚨

Today, our Program Manager and one of our Adolescent Sexual Health Educators had the incredible opportunity to speak at the Women for Good Panel, hosted by the Community Foundation of Northeast Iowa! 💜

During the discussion, we shared insights on the current state of women and girls’ health in the Cedar Valley, highlighting both the barriers many girls continue to face and the opportunities we have to improve sexual health education, access, and overall wellbeing.

We were honored to help Women for Good members better understand where support, advocacy, and investment can create meaningful and lasting impact in our community.🌟

What a perfect way to wrap up !
