Gurls Talk

Gurls Talk is a community-led non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the mental health and wellbeing of adolescent girls and young women. Following Adwoa Aboah’s personal experience with mental health, Gurls Talk was formed with the goal of creating safe spaces – both on and offline – where gurls can access mental health resources, share their experiences and support each other so they never feel alone or have to reach a breaking point.

By working with academic institutions and mental health experts, Gurls Talk seeks to provide accurate and accessible psychoeducation on a wide variety of topics relevant to the community. We spearheaded projects through podcasts, virtual events, thoughtful partnerships, and an online community, to destigmatize mental health conversations while fostering a supportive community that gives all gurls a voice.
