<p>This manual provides a comprehensive framework for prevention that addresses the changes in girls’ bodies and the changes in girls’ lives during adolescence. It helps you enhance your individual practice and assess and develop prevention strategies and teamwork in your schools and communities. The manual includes information, skills and strategies on issues such as the grungies (girls’ negative voice), body image and awareness, the myths around fat and dieting, communication, stress, media literacy and bullying. The section on application helps you integrate these skills into your practice, develop classroom lessons, prepare presentations, and facilitate a girls’ day program. NURTURING GIRLPOWER provides background information on eating disorders and demystifies them—so that you can relate to the girl instead of her disorder. It provides counseling skills so that you can intervene with girls who are experimenting with eating disorder behaviors and support girls with eating disorders. The manual contains 16 tools, 20 exercises and a section on contemporary resources.</p>
