Inner Circle Girls Group-Middle School

Inner Circle Girl’s Group (ICGG) is an educational and art making group focused on providing education to middle and high school age girls on trauma, resiliency, and coping skills. The group also focuses on how to create and maintain healthy body boundaries, regulating emotions, and provides a networking opportunity for participants to have a peer support system.

This group is free of charge for all participants and all materials are provided by ACCAC.

Youth will be provided a meal during each group session.

Participants are not required to talk about traumatic experiences. The group is designed to be a fun, interactive learning experience with an art making component and a heavy emphasis on safety. However, should your child want to talk about their trauma, the group is led by a bilingual Child & Family Advocate who is trained to listen to, validate, and provide support to your child as needed.

This group is inclusive and welcoming for all female-identifying youth.

RSVP is requested, in order to plan meals and activities. To RSVP, please contact Child & Family Advocate Karina Padilla at 717-337-9888 or gro.cacniagasdik@allidaPK
