Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) has made a commitment to support mental wellness for every Girl Scout. As part of that commitment, they have partnered with HCA Healthcare to develop a Mental Wellness Patch Program for Juniors, Cadettes, Seniors, and Ambassadors.
There is a new gsLearn course named "GSUSA The Mental Wellness Patch Program: Why It Matters and How to Implement It." This course shares the best practices for holding a Mental Wellness Patch Program to give Girl Scouts the tools and support they need to better understand and care for their mental health.
The course is approximately 20 minutes long. The first two parts of the course review mental wellness concepts and provide an overview of the program as a whole. Part three provides specific tracks for each program level. It is highly recommended that you complete the GSUSA Mental Wellness 101 and GSUSA Delivering Inclusive Program courses before starting this one. Completing all of these trainings offers you a chance to get the most out of the Mental Wellness Patch Program and will help you promote an environment where girls can thrive and grow.
