Be a good girl friend

Friendships are the backbone of a happy life, and the sisterhood plays a unique role in supporting each other through life’s ups and downs. Being a good friend means being there for one another—especially when it comes to health.

This week we invite you to check in on your friends' health and wellbeing. Our mission is simple: to encourage people to spill the tea, open up about their health and share their stories in a supportive, friendly environment.

Opening up about health can be daunting, but when it’s a chat with a good friend, it becomes much easier.
