Formed in 2020, and starting to deliver services in 2022, Fearless Women provides preventative and early intervention programs so that young women, aged 10 to 25, in the ACT and surrounding areas understand emotions, their personal values and strengths. Our programs also show girls where to go for help if they start to experience poor mental health, and how to help someone who reaches out for support.
