PACE CENTER FOR GIRLS LAUNCHES TELEPACE: EXPANDING VIRTUAL THERAPEUTIC SERVICES TO SUPPORT GIRLS AND YOUNG WOMEN
Pace will provide girls aged 11-17 in south and west Broward County with free virtual therapeutic services.
"Expanding access to mental health services is crucial, particularly for girls who may face barriers to traditional care,” shared Sara Nunez, Executive Director of Pace Broward. “Our goal is to ensure transportation and finances don’t become a barrier to providing the essential services that girls need."
Weekly teletherapy sessions, lasting six-to-eight months per girl, will be provided at no cost by Pace therapists, ensuring accessibility for all participants. Devices and internet access will be provided to families without technology resources.
The program aims to empower girls to voice their experiences, realize their potential, and lead lives defined by responsibility, dignity, and grace.
