I've had the opportunity to speak with David Wilson, a Board Member of The Children’s Body-Image Foundation. The Children’s Body-Image Foundation is a 100% volunteer organization and was established in March 2009.
The Children's Body-Image Foundation believes that all children should feel good about themselves by striving to help children build self-esteem and self-confidence by raising body image awareness and educating the public. I LOVE THIS! We are advocates for all children. We all can promote & provide educational as well as financial resources for families if we work together.
Their organization highlights the fact that certain medical conditions and traumas can also have a negative effect on a child’s sense of self, both physical and or psychological. Some of the conditions we serve are: clubfeet, pediatric cancers, alopecia (hair loss), amputation, body dysmorphia, eating disorders, and other related conditions. Allied healthcare services needs vary and include such services as: professional counseling, braces/supportive devices (durable medical equipment/DME), physical therapy rehabilitation, prosthetics, and other related services. Helping children establish healthy habits that include nutrition and fitness education are also key components in developing a lifetime of better health.
To help support Children's Body- Image Foundation, please contact David Wilson by e-mail at dwilson@cbifnow.org or visit http://childrensbodyimagefoundation.org
I am so thrilled to have the opportunity to speak and work with this organization. It is nice to see others doing the same thing my own heart is after, RAISING AWARENESS!
Have a great Monday!
