The GROW Curriculum recognises the importance of providing intervention for girls who are struggling with their developmental pathways, conditions and experiences that are leading to substance abuse/addiction, delinquency/life on the streets, and a host of other health issues. GROW offers this curriculum focusing on Gender-responsive Substance Abuse Interventions for Adolescent Girls (GROW-Girls). In understanding the difficulties and challenges they face that lead to addiction and delinquency, it is helpful to consider what girls need for a healthy development, while also recognising the situations and experiences that place them at greater risk.
