GENaustin, formerly The Ophelia Educational Fund, is based on Dr. Pipher's book, Reviving Ophelia: Saving the Selves of Adolescent Girls. We inspire girls to become healthy resisters through self awareness, body awareness, and learning specific coping skills. GENaustin is committed to helping girls grow into healthy, confident women who feel valued for what's inside, and not outside, themselves. Our mission is to help adolescent girls develop and maintain healthy self-esteem and leadership skills by educating them, parents, teachers and others about cultural and media influences that seek to undermine girls' sense of self. We facilitate skill-building programs that empower girls to be true to themselves while advocating for positive change in the world. [website...]
