The first
flagship community

The headlines move on.
Care should not.

After the Smoke, Keep Checking In. gives this first flagship local meaning while Her Headspace First. Then Sports.™ remains the enduring national property.

The girls
are the story.

Different sports.
Some of the same weight.

Planned sports include the above. Final participation is subject to team and partner confirmation.

01

She hears from women
who have been there.

Professional and elite women athletes join girls for an intimate conversation about the parts of sport that do not always show up on the scoreboard.

What did sports ask of you that people couldn't always see?

What do you wish somebody had told you at her age?

02

She checks in
with herself.

A private CAREGD™ Check-In gives girls a moment to pause and notice what they are carrying.

Patterns, not people.

Where appropriate, CAREGD may provide participating partners with aggregate Human Insight™ while protecting individual privacy.

Her parent
checks in too.

Parents participate in a real Check-In experience designed to make better conversations easier around sports, school, pressure, identity and life beyond the game.

Before you correct her, check in.

She receives
a message she can keep.

Through The Message Studio™, parents and caring adults can write, record or video a private message she can return to long after the event.
