Fearless Women

Through mentoring and education Fearless Women supports girls and young women meet the challenges of everyday living...and to live the life they want...fearlessly.

2018 research showed that girls and young women in the ACT experience the poorest mental health of any group in the country. This situation has not improved, yet until last year there was no organisation dedicated to helping those girls who easily fall between the cracks (the Missing Middle) and spiral to experience significant mental health challenges.

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.
