​
​
CHICK Therapy motivates, inspires, empowers and guides young girls towards an understanding of their value. We strive to uncover their hidden or unknown gifts and talents leading them to the discovery of their life's passion.
CHICK Therapy provides a powerful leadership program, designed for girls of all ages.
​
CHICK Therapy is a program designed to teach girls the skills they need to become leaders in their schools, communities, and beyond. With our facilitator guides, you can easily implement our program in your school and watch your students flourish.
Our facilitator can either be onsite or provide the necessary tools needed to provide personnel with everything needed to run a successful in-house program smoothly and effectively. Tools include lesson plans, activities, and discussion prompts that are specifically tailored to the needs of young girls. With our guides, you can feel confident that you're providing your students with the support and guidance they need to become the leaders of tomorrow.
The CHICK Therapy program is based on the idea that every girl has the potential to be a fearless leader, regardless of her background or experiences. Through our program, girls will learn important skills like communication, problem-solving, and decision-making, as well as the confidence they need to put those skills into practice.
By participating in CHICK Therapy, girls will develop a sense of empowerment and a belief in their own abilities. They'll learn to identify their strengths and weaknesses, and to use those insights to become better leaders. And most importantly, they'll learn to support and encourage each other, building a community of strong, confident young women.

Children need models rather than critics.
We believe all women can embrace who they are,
can define their future, and can change the world.
I am a woman's, woman!

Get to Know Us
CHICK Therapy's conceptualization of women supporting generations of women and girls is a powerful concept that refers to women uplifting, empowering, and advocating for each other. It emphasizes the importance of solidarity, collaboration, and mutual encouragement among women to overcome challenges, achieve success, and create positive change.
This movement recognizes that women have historically faced gender-based discrimination, inequality, and limited opportunities in various spheres of life. By supporting one another, women can challenge these barriers and work towards creating a more equitable and inclusive society.
​
Women supporting generations of women and girls can take various forms, such as mentorship programs, professional networks, community organizations, and social movements. These initiatives aim to foster connections, share experiences, provide guidance, and offer resources to empower women in their personal and professional lives.
​
Some benefits of women supporting women include:
​
Empowerment: By uplifting and encouraging each other, women can gain confidence, recognize their worth, and pursue their aspirations with determination.
Networking: Building strong networks among women can create opportunities for collaboration, career advancement, and knowledge sharing.
Mentorship: Mentoring relationships allow experienced women to share their expertise and guidance with younger or less experienced women, promoting personal and professional growth.
Advocacy: Women supporting women can amplify each other's voices and advocate for gender equality, challenging societal norms and systemic barriers.
Solidarity: Building a sense of solidarity and sisterhood creates a supportive environment where women feel understood, validated, and empowered to overcome obstacles.
Breaking stereotypes: By challenging stereotypes and societal expectations, women supporting women can inspire others to challenge limiting beliefs and pursue their passions.
