Juliet’s Bloom is a network of educators and health professionals dedicated to educating girls about their bodies and health options as they grow. Our mission underscores the importance of adopting a thoughtful and comprehensive approach to foster the growth and well-being of the next generation of young women.

We were inspired to form Juliet’s Bloom after seeing the growing lack of knowledge, awareness, and growing negative health outcomes in young girls and women. Take a moment to explore some key statistics that underscore why our mission is essential.

Many children in the US only receive patient education for periods after they've started menstruating. Researchers revealed that only 21% of elementary schools currently offer puberty education.

1. As of Jan 2023, the average age of menstruation is 12, with 90% of girls having their first period by 13.

2. According to the survey, over half of women were uninformed about the number of fertile days they have in a month. 30% of women, their first exposure to menstruation was when they experienced their period. Similarly, 54% of women were unaware of premenstrual syndrome. An astounding 9.5 million women lacked an understanding of any menstrual cycle phases.

These statistics illuminate the urgent challenges that inspired the creation of Juliet’s Bloom.
