SHINE for Teen Girls

Helping teen girls to understand what’s happening and why, so they can thrive not just survive


Shine is different…

Mums..what if as a teen girl you had…?

  • felt calm and connected to who you were so you could make decisions that felt good for you

  • felt safe to use your voice in the knowledge that you wouldn’t be belittled, put down or ignored

  • recognised that how you felt was totally normal

  • learnt everything there was to know about being you so you knew you weren’t weird or stupid

  • understood that looking after yourself wasn’t selfish

  • a community of like minded friends around you so you could just be yourself

How would that have made you feel?

It would have felt great right?

That’s our dream for your daughter (and we think it might be your dream too).

Our mission with SHINE is:

  • to surround her with other kind, courageous teens who have got her back whatever happens

  • for her to feel safe in asking whatever questions are on her mind

  • for her to believe in her own self worth whatever is going on in her life

  • for her to be SEEN, HEARD & VALUED

  • to give her a chance to SHINE in her brightest light
