The Girl, Your Health Matters Conference is a transformative event designed to equip girls ages 9 to 18 with the knowledge and confidence to take charge of their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Hosted by the Call Me Beauty Mentoring Program, this free half-day conference will take place three times throughout the year across Lancaster County, Kershaw County, and the Buford Area.

​

📌 1 in 4 girls (ages 13-19) in the U.S. has missed school due to lack of period products.
📌 Many girls are taught to view their menstrual cycles as "gross" or unsanitary, contributing to stigma and misinformation.
📌 Over the last 5 years, the percentage of students at a healthy weight and with strong heart and lung health has declined due to reduced physical activity.
📌 South Carolina saw a 50% increase in children experiencing anxiety or depression between 2016 and 2020.

​

At the Girl, Your Health Matters Conference, we’ll be working to change that. Each conference includes interactive workshops led by community leaders covering:
🌿 Self-Care & Mental Wellness – Learn to manage emotions and break the stigma around mental wellness.
💪 Physical Health – Get moving with fitness sessions and healthy living education.
💖 Menstrual Education – Gain access to period products and accurate information.

​

Together, we’re building a future where girls feel empowered, informed, and confident in their health and wellness.
