Building Emotional Resilience in Girls and Young Women

Workshop/Training

The Utah Women & Leadership Project invites you to join us for our Spring Workshop.

How can you build resilience in young women? How can you teach them to find peace and walk with hope? So many of us also feel like we are drowning ourselves.
