ABOUT US

Lisa Jones, RN, MSN, Nurse Practitioner is the founder of Girls Inspiring Girls Group. While having a heartfelt conversation with Stephanie Williams, MSW, Master Social Worker about young girls and how so many of them need just a little extra guidance to keep on the right path for a successful future. It's apparent that high school dropout, welfare, drug use, pregnancy, and sexually transmitted disease rates are greater in some urban and low-income communities, and girls within these communities can sometimes fall victim to their environmental situation especially if they are not surrounded by many positive influences for guidance. If you're living in a dysfunctional family and/or your friends are skipping school, smoking weed, drinking alcohol, or doing other unproductive, unsafe, and unhealthy activities, these behaviors can sometimes grab at you and become your reality as well. Thus, negative and unhealthy influences can drive you down a negative path, but the opposite is also true, positive and healthy influences can steer you onto a positive path. So, this is where we lend a hand to help steer girls on the path to success by providing positive role models, building self-esteem, and other needed behavioral and life skills tools.  

Our mission is to provide teen girls and young women with the guidance and tools needed to promote a healthy lifestyle that includes good physical and mental health, as well as promote the attainment of high school and higher education as this is in our opinion the basic foundation of success. Within the scope of obtaining a healthy lifestyle, we can't leave out some really important aspects such as pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, and substance abuse prevention.
