What is Embrace U?
The Embrace U are programs for young women with the primary objective of taking them from a place of insecurity and self doubt to empowerment and self-belief. The eight pillars of the program cover the primary issues that act as blocks to development of self worth and motivation. Embrace U utilises the best of research and psychology to provide proven tools and innovative thinking to refocus and inspire students to Embrace themselves and their futures.
Embrace U addresses many of the personal development issues that will affect the futures of young women including:
- They don't feel unique or special
- They have limited training on how to master their thoughts and feelings
- They've listened to the media and other influencers and feel bad about their bodies
- Many don't understand the value of respect and hard work
- They have trouble communicating effectively
- They don't feel empowered, many feel victimised.
- They don't know why they are here and have no idea about what their true purpose is.
Embrace U provides a safe and progressive space for young women to discuss, learn tools, plan and action changes in their perspective, their behaviour and their lives.
