Summer 2022 Update:
Hello! We are not currently meeting as a group, but I am really enjoying mentoring girls one on one.
We’re are exploring things such as emotional self awareness, pandemic fatigue, friendships, family stuff, and just regular tween/teen life! This is a good fit for families that would like their child to have someone to talk to, and I know that sometimes the idea of "counseling" doesn't feel right for everyone. This mentoring is a good fit for those who feel like their teen/pre-teen could use some help navigating their feelings and learning how to communicate and make sense of them. My work is very non-diagnostic, and non-judgmental. I love meeting tweens/teens exactly where they are in their lives, and being an accepting presence that they feel safe and attuned with, where they can bring their full messy human selves, and we can look at it all together, and find tools to navigate with more ease, confidence, resilience and comfort in their lives.

HEY GIRLS!
Holy Moly, these are some weird times we're in! Let's get through it together! Elementary/Middle school girls are some of my favorite people to hang out with! Ya'll are so creative, wise and most of all, hilarious! In this group we will meet once a week and spend the beginning of the hour sharing what's going on in our lives, so we can all get to know eachother and form a community. The second half of the hour will be doing fun stuff. Dance parties, crafts, silly style truth or dare, talent shows, just hanging out and listening to music. I'm very open to your ideas for how to spend our time! As long as it's fun and accepting of everyone! This group is for every type of girl, it's a safe and accepting space for WHOEVER you are! And I know it's scary to join something where you might not know anyone! We'll all be friends in no time. Promise! |
HEY PARENTS!
I'm Shayne Berry, a mom of teens and mentor to girls. I have a background in art, music, and mindful communication. As I’m hearing that educators are having to weigh out suicide risks vs Covid risks, I can’t ignore the call I’ve been feeling to create an online version of this group to create a safe as well as fun, silly, lighthearted space for girls to connect and socialize for their mental and emotional wellness. We will talk, craft, dance, and have a group of friends we can count on. I started this group at my kids’ school in 2012 after interning with Girls, Inc. The most profound learning/healing happened when girls realized there were other people feeling the same things they were. I’ll be offering two separate weekly evening online groups for ages 10&11 and 12&13. Cost is $55–$88 monthly, with 4 free scholarship spots available. PLEASE share this with parents/schools you know. I’m so excited to offer this and connect with these kiddos. Each group has space for 10 girls. |

As of right now, as word is getting out, I have about 8 kiddos interested, and we'll start with one group ages 10-13. Please share this with anyone you know who might be interested, from anywhere! I'd love to make this available to as many girls as possible!
I anticipate, by next month, we'll have two groups going, and can split into the two age groups, to better specialize on interests and experience based on age. My hope is that if girls enjoy it in the first couple weeks, that it can be a long term commitment for all of us, and this can be a community that the girls can count on for comraderie, fun, and just feeling like they are not alone is this wild Covid experience. But if someone only joins us for one month, that is great too! For now, we'll meet Monday Evenings. 6:30-8. The first hour will be structured, the last half our will be for those who want to just hang out more, talk with eachother, or talk to me privately about any feelings they might be having about the group or otherwise. I like to make myself available in this way to get to know the girls and their needs and just provide open space for them to vent about life if they need to. Call or text me at 503-412-8852 to join, we will start Monday 2/8. I will send you my Venmo info, where you can send payment each month. Cost is $55–$88 monthly, with 4 free scholarship spots available. Those who are able to pay the higher tier, make the scholarships available, thank you! |
