Girl Talk Empowerment Sessions

An informal and relaxed workshop that Dr. Briggs delivers for young minority students and professionals. This is an opportunity to feel empowered and supported by young ladies that may be or have encountered some of the same experiences. This is facilitated through a unique and caring approach. This is recommended for students from 6th grade through college. This is also recommended for entry and mid-level professionals.

Mentoring

Dr. Briggs offers on-going mentoring support and connections to help enhance individuals in areas they are seeking. Positive youth development research has long demonstrated that youth benefit from close, caring relationships with adults who serve as positive role models (Jekielek, Moore, & Hair, 2002). Today, 8.5 million youth continue to lack supportive, sustained relationships with caring adults (Cavell, DuBois, Karcher, Keller, & Rhodes, 2009). The focus is to help individuals succeed in life and meet their goals. Mentoring relationships can be formal or informal with elements of creating caring, consistent, and empathetic long-lasting relationships. This can be done with a mixture of role modeling, teaching, and advising. This is recommended for students from 6th grade through college. This is also recommended for entry and mid-level professionals.

Life Skill Workshops

H&H Coaches help prepare youth with life skills through fun, engaging and hands-on activities. Sometimes our society doesn’t realize the importance of teaching our youth the “little things” that will aid in their success as everyday citizens and healthy adults. H&H Coaches are committed to the advancement, success, wellness, and prosperity of our youth. This is recommended for students from 5th-12th grade.
