As society continues to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic and other world events, it is beneficial to take a closer look at the new challenges that women and girls face during these times, and how interventions have been altered to fit the present moment.
Join us for a discussion where a panel of experts will identify improvements and interventions that have been implemented and created to meet the needs of women and girls, so that we may continue to build upon them and establish those ideas in different settings. This conversation is necessary for all audiences, but particularly for healthcare providers, social workers, and other professionals.
We hope this discussion will bring an overall awareness to these ongoing challenges, and potentially discover how facing difficulties at a young age can influence girls’ development in all contexts throughout the lifespan.
