Club Ophelia is a program offered to 5th grade girls and middle school girls in the Elizabethtown Area School District to help them develop healthy relationship skills and learn successful ways of handling relational aggression (forms of bullying behaviors most often used by girls). Elizabethtown Area High School girls are trained as mentors and work with adult Directors of Club Ophelia to help younger girls develop positive self-esteem and identify ways to resolve conflicts with other girls that involve non-aggressive behaviors. By engaging in learning-focused arts, crafts and drama-based activities the girls come to understand the characteristics of healthy peer relationships and have opportunities to practice the skills they learn.
