GSEM Silver Award Project Catalog

Girl Scouts Mental Health Video

Project Details: To support their peers with their mental health, Cadettes from Troop 957 wanted to create an easily-accessible resource to promote positive mental health practices to earn their Girl Scout Silver Award. So, the Girl Scouts decided to film a video that talks about mental health and ways teens can work to better themselves. The troop realized that other Girl Scouts similarly struggle with mental health challenges and designed their video with them in mind. The video supplements many of the Girl Scout Mental Health Badges. Girl Scouts working on these badges will now have an extra resource to use.

Silver Award Team: Troop 957

Issue: Teens sometimes experience mental health problems. Root Cause: Social media, stress, and lack of enjoyment lead to poor mental health.

Target Audience: Girl Scout teenagers.

Sustainability: The video will continue to be used because Girl Scout teens will watch it while completing mental health badges.
