OUR MISSION: To inspires courage and confidence in youth living with chronic pain and supports their families by transforming lives through personal development, community building, and gardening to build a sustainable quality of life.
Despite the fact that over 1.7 million children in the United States are known to have chronic pain and that the cost of treating this pain is almost 20 billion dollars per year, chronic pain remains an invisible and under-recognized health problem for kids and teens.
Chronic pain also often includes a tremendous psychological and social burden; children with ongoing pain regularly miss school, are unable to participate in activities.
To increase the social and emotional learning capacity of children
and families impacted by chronic pain.
By improving physical health and mental well-being, we strive to
reduce the levels of anxiety, depression, isolation, poor self-concept,
poor self-expression, opioid dependence, and the risk of suicide
through interactive and experiential learning.
1 in 4 children under the age of 18 suffer
from chronic pain. CEO & Founder Karen
Prescod knows their struggles and
challenges all too well.
Amid her chronic pain journey, she
envisioned creating a place to support
their needs and improve the lives of
children and young adults (5-21) living
with chronic pain and their families.
We provide enrichment programming to
Increase children's social and emotional
learning capacity impacted by chronic
pain.
Our enrichment programs are all
designed to create an environment of
exploration, discovery, acceptance, and
empowerment.
Our goals are to promote self-efficacy,
foster the development of resiliency and
cultivate an awareness of self and others.
Using our 5 Empowerment Principles (Self-Discovery, Self-Awareness, Self-Worth, Self-Expression, and Social Engagement & Advocacy), we create the space for participants to create shifts in thinking to change conversations to WHO THEY ARE, not what they suffer from or what condition or illness they have.
… an unbearable, constant physical pain that limits and interferes with the childhood experience.
