Acknowledgements
Funding for the creation of this manual was provided by the McCreary Youth Foundation ? thank you for your continued support of this important work. Thank you to all the girls who have been a part of the girls groups we have facilitated over the years. Without the opportunity to learn, share, and grow with each of you, this project would not have been possible. Thank you also to Sonia Manhas and Lynne Redenbach for past collaborations with Natalie, which resulted in creating some of the girls group resources found in this manual.
