Mental health has a huge impact on girls and young women and their ability to lead healthy, fulfilling, and meaningful lives. At Girls Inc., we acknowledge that mental health is as important as physical health, and that mental health issues disproportionately affect marginalized communities such as BIPOC and LGBTQ+ peoples.
