The Facts. Period.
Being a young person is… FUN, SURPRISING, AMAZING, WEIRD, EXCITING, CONFUSING, AWESOME, EMOTIONAL …
Let’s face it, it can be overwhelming at times. For all of us. One of the very best ways to get some perspective and feel in control is to have some understanding of the things that puzzle or concern us. Here is a great place to get started. But it’s just a beginning. Don’t be afraid to ask questions.
This is YOUR body, your life, and the more you know, the better you can take care of yourself. If you have questions for which you just can’t find answers, reach out to us and we’ll try to help.

Workshops
Talking about periods is embarrassing because for so long we’ve all made it that way! (We use some pretty silly words to refer to periods just so we don’t even have to say the word!) Our workshops offer a fun, low-stress environment where we make talking about periods (and saying the actual word) no big thing. Games and activities offer practical information, which is all most people need to feel more confident in managing and talking about menstruation.

Resources & Facts
In 2016, we found that most people (like us) were not aware of period poverty. We also found that telling people what we learned shocked them and made them want to help us with what was then a little project we called, “Girls Helping Girls. Period.”
These days, we are very happy to say that more people are aware, in a teeny tiny way, because of the work we are doing, alongside some AMAZING colleagues. But there is so much more work to do.
If you really want to help… EDUCATE EVERYONE, NO MATTER THEIR GENDER! Here are some fantastic resources to get you started.
