Turning Teen: Body Basics for Girls at Gorton Center
July 25, 2026 10:00am to 11:30am
Gorton Center, 400 East Illinois Road, Lake Forest, Illinois 60045
Turning Teen is here for #GirlMoms, #GirlDads, and any other trusted adult in a young person’s life. We know it can be hard to talk with a girl about puberty. Or sexual or mental health. And other issues relating to her body. After all, many of our parents found it hard, too. Some of us never learned how to discuss – without secrecy, embarrassment, or worse, shame – what it means to turn into a teen.
We can fix that. Turning Teen has the support and guidance you need. Interactive classes and workshops, offered in person or online, provide age-appropriate, medically accurate information in an engaging and fun setting.
In this workshop, you will learn about female anatomy, puberty, body changes, body safety, and more! Turning Teen offers interactive pediatrician-developed educational workshops that are fun, modern, and medically accurate!
For girls 8+ (who haven’t started puberty yet or are in the early stages) and their parent/trusted adult
