NxtGenWomxn is designed to provide adolescent girls and young womxn (AGYW) with the mental health resources to deal with the challenges they face today.

In 2022, our partner schools were reporting higher levels of self-harm, substance abuse, teenage pregnancy and suicide attempts, than ever before. There was an urgent need to develop a shorter, focused intervention for adolescent girls. After consultations and focus groups with topic experts, SoHK SA created a 6-part evidence-based curriculum, which we have piloted with 126 girls aged 12-16.
