Girls Inc Mind + Body Program

In partnership with Girls Inc. of New York City, a nonprofit organization that inspires all girls to be strong, smart, and bold, Beyond the Block NYC is facilitated one of the signature programs at Brooklyn Ascend Middle School.

Mind & Body Matters Program aims to identify stressful scenarios commonly experienced by girls, and to provide the tools they need to not only survive traumatic stress but to thrive and rise out of their circumstances. Each lesson incorporates essential layers of social emotional learning that will help guide girls to a better understanding of how their minds and bodies are connected.
