Treasure Your Chest: Supporting School girls Through Breast Education

This webinar introduces Treasure Your Chest (TYC), a dedicated breast education initiative designed to empower schoolgirls with knowledge about breast development, support, and bra fit.

The session will begin by exploring the origins of TYC, the research and insights that led to its creation, and how the resources were developed to address gaps in school-based health education. School nurses will learn how TYC can be used effectively within schools, including classroom delivery and small group sessions. The session will conclude with a Q&A, offering attendees the opportunity to discuss practical applications and ask questions about implementing TYC in their own settings.
