They were then assigned to a group to begin a journey through various stations created to inspire them and build relationships.<\/p>\n<p>This year featured three primary stations for the girls: a lively games area where friendship blossomed over friendly competition, a tranquil mindfulness room where each girl received a journal for quiet reflection, and a creative friendship bracelet workshop for weaving threads of companionship and support.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>When asked about the core message of BRAVE, Tracy explained, \u201cWe want these girls to understand they are not alone. Life can be hard, and there is always someone to talk to if they need it. Young people go through so much that we may not fully grasp everything, but it\u2019s important for them to know it\u2019s okay to ask for help.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For The Salvation Army, BRAVE is about building a community, a supportive network that extends beyond the boundaries of a single day. It is focused on resilience, empowerment, and giving hope to those who need it most.<\/p>\n<p>With newfound confidence and sense of solidarity, the girls can now venture into the world, assured they are seen, they are valued, and they are not alone.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about programming like this in your community, or to donate, please visit <a href=\"https:\/\/salvationarmy.ca\/atlantic\/\">salvationarmy.ca\/Atlantic<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"wp-image-26476 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/salvationarmy.ca\/atlantic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/02\/IMG_9654.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"766\" height=\"295\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each spring, The Salvation Army in Moncton, N.B., hosts \u201cBRAVE,\u201d a special event for girls aged 12-18, focused on fostering empowerment and solidarity among young women.
