A new program for girls to learn to feel good being themselves

Find What Moves You (FWMY) was developed by researchers at Washington State University to support mental, physical, and social well-being in middle school girls. FWMY is a movement-based activity program for youth ages 11-14-years old who identify with a girls' community, intended to help them appreciate, explore, and embody their truest selves. This program welcomes cisgender, transgender, and non-binary youth of all races, ethnicities, abilities, and body sizes. In FWMY, participants will move (e.g., dance, yoga, kickboxing and more!), connect with peers and mentors, and reflect on their own unique experiences. They will learn skills like mindfulness, self-compassion, and body appreciation that help them navigate the challenges in their lives and feel good being themselves. The program is free and meets twice a week for four weeks online through Zoom on Tuesday and Thursdays from 4:15-5:00 p.m. starting April 11, 2023. Learn more and register on the FWMY website.
