Our Education Programs
Women’s Health Virginia’s annual conference and other education programs bring Virginians together to focus on medical and non-medical issues relating to women and girls’ wellness, the development of their health behavior, and their use of health care.
  • Hear from experts about approaches that provide skills, self-confidence, and strength for girls and women to make positive choices in their lives.
  • Find out why these approaches can make a difference for all girls, not just ones who are considered “at risk” or are engaging in risky behavior.
  • Learn from program leaders working with girls at different ages.
  • Listen to girls whose lives have been touched.
