info_outlineAdolescence should be a time of innocence, growth, learning, and discovering ourselves, our bodies, and our values. But the truth is that adolescence is hard, especially for teen girls going through changes from head to toe.
Did you know that 1 in 8 girls from North Dakota attempt suicide? More than 50% have unhealthy body esteem, and 1 in 3 girls state their mental health is not good. These alarming stats come directly from BIO Girls, a nonprofit that aims to build self-esteem in young girls and teens through their researched-backed programs.
Founder of BIO (Beautiful Inside & Out) Girls, Missy Heilman, joins Patty Post of Checkable Health to share the BIO Girls mission to improve the mental wellness of our children by focusing on life skill development through positive mentoring and physical activity. Self-esteem is one of the strongest predictors of behavioral and emotional problems, and that’s why Missy dedicated the last decade to growing their volunteer-led program in the Midwest.
With a curriculum developed by Dr. Beth Salafia, Professor at North Dakota State University in the Human Development and Family Science Department, girls in grades 2 to 11 participate in hands-on experiences that teach lessons in kindness, leadership, friendships, and the importance of self-worth. Children who have mentors outside of their family have higher self-esteem, and BIO Girls is undoubtedly making a big impact in the lives of these girls and the greater community.
If your child has experienced increased anxiety post-pandemic, struggles with self-esteem or body dysmorphia, or you’re interested in becoming a mentor or donating, tune in to this podcast to learn more about how BIO Girls is re-shaping our youth!

- The BIO Girls mission and curriculum
- Missy’s inspiration for BIO Girls
- Creating BIO Girls’s curriculum
- Social media education
