Educating Families Empowering Girls

Care Club is the modern wellbeing community and supportive program for mums and girls aged 8–12.

Together, you’ll learn how to build healthy friendships, manage emotions, grow self-worth, and navigate life with courage and calm. Each week brings inspiring sessions and powerful challenges to help you both connect, communicate, and thrive.

More than a program, Care Club is a community — a space where you’ll feel supported, uplifted, and never alone on the journey of raising brave, confident, unstoppable girls.

Care Club
Overview

Your Care Club Journey

Every Care Club session is dynamic, interactive, and heart-centred — mums and daughters learn together in real time through powerful activities, deep discussions, and fun weekly challenges to complete before the next session. Each week builds confidence and connection while equipping your daughter with science-supported wellbeing tools she’ll use for life.

Confidence & Self-Worth

In this empowering first session, your daughter will learn to silence her inner critic, embrace her amazing self, and feel confident in her body. We explore body image and body acceptance, helping girls build a healthy relationship with themselves from the inside out.

Values & Role Models

Your daughter will identify her unique strengths, values, and role models — understanding what truly matters to her and who inspires her to live with purpose. This session is based on world-class research developed at Harvard and backed by 30 years of wellbeing science.

Navigating Friendship Challenges

Friendship ups and downs can shake even the strongest confidence. Through engaging, practical activities, we teach how to express feelings with empathy and strength — whether she’s shy, loud, dramatic, or chill — and how to handle social setbacks while finding her tribe.

Anxiety & Emotional Regulation

Emotions don’t have to feel overwhelming. This final session introduces simple, science-backed calming tools to manage anxiety, nerves, and big emotions — building the foundation for lifelong calm, confidence, and resilience.

Care Club isn’t a lecture — it’s an experience. Each week, you’ll laugh, learn, and connect with your daughter as you complete meaningful challenges between sessions. Together, you’ll build the tools, language, and emotional strength she’ll carry for life — all guided by Marina Passalaris, founder of Beautiful Minds.

FAQs

What if my daughter is sick and we miss a week?

No problem at all! Every Care Club session is recorded and uploaded into your private Care Club folder. You’ll have ongoing access to all replays and materials well after your program has wrapped up, so your daughter can catch up at any time.

I haven’t received my daughter’s RetreatMe Self-Care Box. What should I do?

Please email our friendly team at [email protected] and we’ll check this for you. Please note: the RetreatMe Self-Care Boxes are sent towards the end of the four-week program, not at the beginning, so your daughter can celebrate completing her Care Club journey.

Is Care Club suitable for shy girls?

Absolutely! Care Club is perfect for all personality types — our loud girls, shy girls, creative thinkers, deep feelers, girls with ADHD, and even those who struggle to enjoy school. Each session is dynamic, colourful, and engaging, designed to help every girl feel seen, included, and supported exactly as she is.

Do mums need to attend every session?

Yes — mums are an essential part of Care Club. Each session is about connection, learning, and shared growth. When mums attend, they gain the same emotional tools and language as their daughters, so they can continue the learnings at home and strengthen that beautiful bond.

Is Care Club live or self-paced?

Care Club is completely live and hosted personally by Marina Passalaris. This means your daughter can ask questions in real time, share stories, and receive direct guidance. Marina connects with every family throughout the four weeks to ensure the experience is meaningful and deeply supportive.
