You glow girls!

A new wellness program for tweens and young teen girls is starting at Helensburgh in 2022

Created by Sammy Mahler, of ‘A Fountain of Youth’, the new Glow wellness program will be run in partnership with the 2508 Salvation Army. It aims to empower and enrich the lives of growing teens.

“This has been a passion of mine for more than 10 years,” says Sammy, who recently graduated as a qualified youth worker.

“Most people know me as a stylist, but my real passion lies in journeying with young girls to have the resilience and belief within themselves to navigate their teenage years.”

The course guides participants through self-worth, resilience, healthy friendships, body acceptance, boundaries and social media.

“I aim to provide a safe and supportive environment where each young girl will learn to feel empowered and inspired.

“And, as I’m a true creative,” laughs Sammy, “there will be a session on fashion styling in which I aim to help them create a sense of self-awareness about their own style.”

The Salvation Army’s 2508 Mission Leader, Lauren Martin, says she jumped at the chance to partner with ‘A Fountain of Youth’ on the project. “This is such a unique and much-needed initiative.

“As The Salvation Army, we want to invest in building healthy communities, particularly in building up youth and young people in Helensburgh. We have sponsored the first cohort for ‘Glow’ and I look forward to working alongside Sammy as a co-facilitator.”

The 10-week Glow Program starts in early January. Facebook ‘A Fountain Of Youth’ or contact Sammy, 0418 344 714; sammahle@bigpond.com
