New Six-Part Webinar Series on Girls’ Behavioral Health
This February, SAMHSA will launch the Girls Matter! webinar series to discuss challenges, opportunities, and strategies for supporting girls. “We know that professionals working with adolescents are eager to learn more about the unique needs of girls ages 12–18 and how these unique needs impact their behavioral health and development,” said SAMHSA Principal Deputy Administrator and Associate Administrator for Women’s Services, Kana Enomoto. Girls Matter! features a 90-minute webinar each month covering a related behavioral health topic.
