Community and Wellbeing

Wellbeing program for teenage girls

The University of Newcastle is conducting research to develop a wellbeing program to improve teenage girls' physical and mental health, as well as support fathers to nurture their bond with their daughters.

The program hopes to achieve similar success to the multi-award winning Daughters and Dads Active and Empowered program which targets primary school aged girls and their fathers for improved wellbeing, sports skills and physical activity.

A short survey has been developed for high school aged girls to complete and another one forfather/father figures of high school aged girls. The surveys ask questions about well-being, sport, physical activity and family relationships and have been approved by the University of Newcastle Human Research Ethics Committee.
