Description

The Girls Group is an intervention for troubled girls who have different experiences that brought them into juvenile justice or juvenile protection programs. The group is designed to bring them new experiences, meet basic human needs such as affection and attention, and teach them new skills. If the adolescences participate in the Girls Group, then they should have a higher self-esteem than they did before participating in the group. Girls that completed the group or are currently participating in it were given a survey on self esteem. The responses were measured by using a likert scale. The results determined whether or not the group has an affect on their self esteem. The results are not available yet as this the research project is still in progress.
