Mental Wellness and Inclusion

Mental wellness starts here.

The challenges of today’s world don’t only affect grownups. Young people—especially girls—are facing a mental health crisis of their own. Supporting them as they grow and face life’s complexities is a top priority.

Girl Scouts plus their families, caregivers, and volunteers now have access to these mental wellness resources from Girl Scouts of the USA and trusted partners. From new activities to trainings, you’ll find what you need to get started.

Resilient. Ready. Strong.

Girl Scouts aren’t immune from feeling stressed. This patch will help them be ready for when things get tough.

GET STARTED

See how the littlest Girl Scouts are learning to be strong, resilient, and happy.

From developing social-emotional skills by showing kindness to their family and friends to celebrating differences and making others feel included, Girl Scout Daisies learn what it means to be honest and fair, friendly and helpful, and how the Girl Scout Law applies to their lives. Get started today and see your Daisy grow into their strongest, most resilient self.
