What people are saying about the Hardy Girls Healthy Women Training Institute:

”Thank you so much for the informative, eye opening, and action packed webinar! My mind could not keep up with all the information but took 12 pages of notes...I am hoping they help with my dissertation. The information is also great for me to pass along to my teaching staff at the day care center where I am the director. We talk about role modeling a great deal, language, expectations, etc. even from infants up...they will be floored by some of this! No, all of it!  I think I am hooked and will join as many webinars about girls, as possibly boys for comparison, as possible. Great work you are doing for today's girls and tomorrow's women!” –Karen, Isabella Child Care

“As a camp director and more importantly as the mother of a teenage girl, I really appreciated the tone set in this training. I have found that the messages out there for girls in the media are so toxic right now and I find it refreshing to hear a message about changing the message rather than changing the girls who are just trying to figure out how to have a voice and power in a difficult society.” –Shannon, Chimney Corners Camp for Girls

“Cultivating Hardiness Zones was a wonderful day of training at our site led by Lyn Mikel Brown and HGHW board member, Anne Belden.  We had 75 participants (teachers, school counselors, therapists, administrators) who unanimously endorsed the success of the day.  The program combined an energizing mix of didactic material and experiential exercises.  The presenters created a safe environment in which participants could speak freely and learn without inhibition.   Participants reported being excited to develop new skills and to feel empowered to better support the girls and young women in their lives.  There was a great sense of camaraderie and shared inspiration. I would highly recommend this program, and this wonderful organization, to you.” –Sharon, Strong Moms Strong Girls

”The webinar on Packaging Boyhood had great information!  I applaud Hardy Girls for including a segment about boys.  Society is affected adversely by all gender stereotypes, not just those of girls and women.  Change will be fostered as we bring these issues closer together.  Thank you for the great work you do.” Elin, Writer

”I loved what was being said!  I work at a girls’ school as a school counselor.  I have never been a fan of bully prevention programs, and now I know why.  I loved hearing about Hardy Girls Healthy Women from Dr. Lyn Mikel Brown.  How I long to be surrounded by such like minds!” Linda, Burke's School

“When the team that created the Real Deal: A Summer Leadership Experience for Girls started its work, we needed a place of inception that would provide us with the guiding principles to dream a program around. It did not take us long to find it: the “Ten Tips for Creating Hardiness Zones for Girls” document served as our anchor and our inspiration to create an experience we know will be transformative for our girls. We invited Lyn Mikel Brown to our school about six weeks later.  During an extended lunch meeting with the Real Deal team, Lyn proved why she is a foremost authority on girls’ development:  her vast experience and knowledge aside, she is truly a muse who inspires. One team member put it this way: ‘Strong women listen well. Lyn did just that. She modeled the Hardy Girls Healthy Women concept of “muse” and listened us into a deeper understanding of what we are doing well and the directions we'd like to take to strengthen our work’.” – Mariandl, Agnes Irwin School
